What does justice look like?

In Law Is Aesthetic: Trope, professor Stacy Douglas reimagines a historic Berlin courthouse as more than a legal space—it becomes a site of performance, emotion, and critical reflection. Presented at the 13th Berlin Biennale, this thought-provoking installation uses video, performance art, and poetic narration to explore the aesthetic dimensions of law and its influence on our daily lives.

Step inside a courtroom where absurdity meets insight, and discover how legal systems shape not just policies, but perceptions and identities.
