Peephole

Interactive large-scale transit ad

2018

During the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence in 2018, we worked with a team of creatives to design an interactive transit ad that puts the viewer in the shoes of a person experiencing violence by their intimate partner.

Initially, the ad appears to be a unexceptional apartment door, but when the viewer looks through the peephole, they see an angry man in the hallway, banging on the door and trying to get in.

The viewer is invited to share a small part of what a victim of domestic violence experiences.

The ad appeared at a transit stop in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The realistic effect was created by suspending a high-res screen behind the peephole, and installing a speaker at the precise point on the door where the man is knocking.
