Marc Rabinowitz: Prostitution Facts
Marc Rabinowitz, Design to Touch Humanity, Prostitution Facts shown amidst Village Voice escort ads, 2007
In spite of the barrage of wisecracks this week involving the tawdry glamour of “high-priced call girls,” it’s important to remember that this supposedly victimless crime takes a vast human toll that goes far beyond the embarrassment of the occasional powerful man. Marc Rabinowitz’s project at the School of Visual Arts Graduate Design Program invites us to imagine the stark statistics of prostitution in a familiar form and inserted amidst the escort service ads in any city tabloid.
