MISSING MIGRANTS, 2015
Installation: 30‘481 punched awl holes on
paper, 251 x 162 cm
It is estimated that the number of refugees, who
have died on their way to Europe since 2000, is
higher than 29‘000 (Source: The Migrant Files).
The majority of these dead refugees have drowned
(in the sea). But also hundreds died of hunger or
thurst, cold or hypothemia, suffocating in trucks
or when crossing minefields.
