One Way Trip

2012 

 

Multimedia installation for the charity European Alternatives

Barcelona

The visitors enter to wonder through the installation where anonymous fabric “bodies” are dumped on the floor, they have to be stepped on to go in the installation as other possible routes are closed by barbed wire. Red bands connect all the “bodies” to each other, they bear exerts of immigration laws printed on them. The poignant image of the fabric bodies serve as a symbolic mirror of the treatment given to immigrants forcing visitors, who must walk over “them”, to relate to their situation.

At the same time they are confronted with a projection of a remix of some of the images of documentaries about illegal immigrants (documentaries by Pilar Monsell, A. Muñoz, J. Palazón, M. Westrich, Toni Serra). This video remix is visually impacting and soundless. The visitors have to walk through the projection screen behind, plays a remix of the soundtrack of the some of the documentaries in various languages.
