Humans

Humans is a collaborative performance created by Isabella Lee Arturo, who employs the methodology of “Embodying and Humanizing” data to understand the human cost of asymmetrical armed conflicts. In collaboration with Mahla Mosah and Martin Müller, this artwork consist of the three artists repeating the word “human” 60,000 times. This number is the estimated death toll in the ongoing armed conflict in Gaza derived from a peer-reviewed report published in The Lancet journal at the beginning of 2025.
