Siento porciento is the thesis project of Juliana Forero, done in may 2001. Sientoporciento.com is the website that register and documents the work.

The toilets of Universdidad de los Andes in Colombia reflected in their mirrors words, thoughts and points of view towards abortion. It was a word play with the 'reflection': as physics and moral. A society reflected, and something that needs attention. In this page using a Quicktime VR you can explore one of the toilets.

One of the phases of the project was to print and give postcards. Using the internet, you can send them to your friends virtually.

This page simplifies the project, explains its process. The website makes it possible to visit the installation for those who for one reason or another couldn't.

 

The website also wants to inform, that's why there is a page with links to International Organization that helps the woman and/or informs about Sexual Health.

The name for the project comes for the feelings that might be involved when you have a look at the figures that comes out from the statistics. Which are based in documents, experiences that makes clear the situation of each one of the percentage of a reality. That's why I say "siento porciento" (Feel a percentage), I feel at the maximum and I feel a percentage at the same time, it's not about an ortographical mistake, perhaps, a mistake of a society.
