Nothing is what it seems… Wallpaper against domestic violence

Posted on May 20, 2012 by quantumphysica

I recently got to see a German campaign against domestic violence, and it kind of struck me, since it is quite inventive… Behind German Walls shows pictures of what seems to be just wallpaper… but when given a second glance you see it’s an intricate pattern of belts, fists, slapping hands, crying women, hair-pulling,… Their slogan is very appropriately: “sometimes you don’t notice it at first glance”…

Now is it just me, or would this wallpaper be awesome if sold for real?

About quantumphysica

My name is QuantumPhysica The Insane, but you can call me QP. I am insane, admitted to a mental hospital in Belgium, and waiting for a decent diagnosis at the moment. Once I was a physics student with goals in life and what more; now I'm simply the patient of Room 93. Ever wondered what life is like in the psychiatric ward? I'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know... I am... particularly twitchy of personality. But I also am genuinely interested in everything. There is nothing that doesn't interest me, really. Everything, from quantum computers to fashion and cars to traveling... I also give advice. On anything. No taboos whatsoever. And I make lists of things...

    His side. I hit sometimes when I’m really really angry but I’m getting better at controlling my anger and communicating.

    that is very positive. Anger management is terribly important… I have never been really violent towards others, but people have told me I have a very hurtful way of going sadist towards them when I’m annoyed…
