Violencia (Violence), in its last version 031224_1, is an organic ongoing digital film with 5.1 surround sound that translates the pandemic of femicides and related murders into visual violence. The work includes the names and ages, if known, of the 1849 cases of, mostly, women murdered in relation to the spectrum of femicide, from the year 2003 to December 2024 in Spain. These 21 years of femicide violence are compiled in 00:03:07 minutes, being the total duration of the film 00:04:31 minutes. The data collected is the result of a hemerographic research, what per se is prone to change, leading to the possibility of having diferent versions in the same year, hence its organic form. Furthermore, as long as there are still femicides, the film will continue to grow, having a new version or new film each year. 

The technique used is based on animation, creating a stroboscopic effect with black and white frames, where the afterimage effect or subsequent image is produced in which a stimulus remains on the retina when that stimulus no longer exists visually; that is to say, due to the speed with which we see the frames and the play of light, we have the  impression of seeing the past, the present and the future at the same time, and when the film ends, we continue to see and feel what we have seen. Finally, the visual is supported by the whispers of all the names moving in a three-dimensional way in the space with an incessant hum, discriminating individual realities.
