PARALLEL REALITY – HARSH ACTUALITY
ASTRA
The project “Parallel Reality – Harsh Actuality” for the non-governmental organization Astra, was implemented in order to raise awareness about human trafficking.
The problem of human trafficking seems like a parallel reality as if it is invisible and happens far from us, but it is a problem in which such phenomena seem imperceptible, while the reality is different and even harsher. That is our harsh actuality.
The campaign points to the three most common forms of human trafficking: sexual exploitation, child exploitation, and labor exploitation.

The “creative devices” of the campaign were imaginary chains. The imaginary chain strongly symbolizes everything that a human trafficker uses to bind his victim: blackmail, coercion, punishment, threat, fear, which is not visible at first glance. The campaign seeks to make these chains more visible and teaches us to recognize them more easily.
