NUMBERS INCREASE AS WE COUNT is the culmination of Ülfet Sevdi's extensive research and artistic attempt to bring public attention to the repercussions on the lives of women suffering the consequences of war in post-American occupied Iraq: displacement, abduction and forced sex-work. Weaving actual testimonies with documentation of the creation process, it aims to humanize numbers through an immersive and interactive (re)counting; an endless performance if we were to attempt to reach the actual numbers.
