Concept

The German word doch is the shortest and direct response to combat a negative statement with the opposite positive. Facing a denial, doch is the most direct way to make a contraposition.

In this project, doch is not just a word but an “action”. DOCH! is the tension between stopping and persisting. It is above all an insistence. Within DOCH! are also topics such as identity, nationality, violence, stereotypes.

DOCH! is a resistance weapon in the body itself.
