Umetniški projekt sem poimenovala po aktuarskih tabelah “tablice smrtnosti«, ki prikazujejo verjetnost preživetja. Pri izračunavanju demografske statistike se ločeno izračunava pričakovana življenjska doba moških in žensk. Tablice smrtnosti uporabljajo zavarovalnice pri izračunu dosmrtne rente. Sklicujoč se na statistiko, po kateri živijo ženske dlje kot moški, zavarovalnice prisodijo ženskam manjšo pokojnino kot moškim, ob enakih vplačilih in letih varčevanja.

Projekt sestavlja serija ročno izdelane mlečne čokolade, v katero so vtisnjeni podatki pričakovanega trajanja življenja za moške in ženske. Podatki so izračunani na podlagi nemških tablic DAV 1994R, ki so predpisane za slovensko zavarovalništvo. Namen projekta “Tablice smrtnosti” je ozaveščanje skozi užitek. S projektom opozarjam na uporabo demografske statistike v zavarovalništvu, ki jo občutim kot prikrito diskriminacijo žensk v kapitalizmu.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The »Mortality Table« project is named after an actuarial table which shows, for a person at each age, the probability of surviving any particular year of age. Life expectancy for men and women is calculated separately. This table is used by insurance companies to calculate life annuities. According to the statistics, women outlive men. Insurance companies use this as an excuse to pay out lower pensions to women even though they make the same payments for the same number of years as men.

The project consists of a batch of hand-made milk chocolate bars imprinted with the data of life expectancy for men and women. The calculations are based on the DAV 1994R table which the Slovenian insurance companies are obliged to use. The project aims to inform through pleasure. With it I would like to call your attention to the way the insurance industry uses the demographic statistics, which I feel is a form of hidden discrimination against
women in capitalism.
