This project uses projector photography to present the confronting statistic that “Asian-born gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men are four times as likely to acquire HIV than Australian-born men.” By projecting this text in each subject’s native language directly onto their body, the work reimagines publishing as an embodied, spatial act—centering lived experience over passive consumption. The project resists traditional design outputs, instead using language and the body as tools for visibility, protest, and connection within a public health context.
