Background
Migration, Homeland and Identity are frequently debated topics in politics and in the media.

BORDERS: A LINE OR A LIE?

But whereas Migration often invokes fiercely negative and judgemental associations, Homeland is associated with everything from sentimental romanticism to extreme nationalism. What these concepts have in common, however, is that the purpose is to identify with one group by distancing oneself from others. The designer has created a series of artefacts that show the extremely difficult circumstances and the feeling of exclusion that is a hallmark of the migration process.
