Warsaw, 20th June 2021

World Refugee Day
June 20th

FRONTEX executes a deadly regime that killed more than 40.000 people at the European Borders since its foundation. A collective of activists confronts the EU with the victims of this inhumane policy at the FRONTEX' headquarter in Warsaw.

Every month, more than a hundred humans are being washed ashore on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The installation of The Floating Dead with more than a hundred puppets wearing life vests from the graveyard on Lesbos brings the dead to the perpetrators' doorstep.

The collective urges the authorities to uphold The European Convention on Human Rights and The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

SAVE YOUR SOULS
Protect our Dignity

WATCH!

23.05.2021 - Tag des Grundgesetzes

Kick-off on the day of the German Basic Law in Berlin. More than 100 people were washed from a original rubber dinghy onto the banks of the Spree.

With the action, the collective refers to the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany and has brought the death at Europe’s boarder to Berlin.

ARTIKEL 1

(1) Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority.
(2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world.
(3) The following basic rights shall bind the legislature, the executive and the judiciary as directly applicable law.

Das Kollektiv sieht mit jedem Menschen die Würde im Meer ertrinken,
die zu schützen, sich das Deutsche Volk aus gutem Grund gesetzlich verpflichtet hat.

An action by

DU&ICH

A collective of activists, artists and supporters has set itself the task of confronting us all with reality and, above all, death at the borders of Europe - in the middle of our comfort zone - so that looking away, listening away is no longer possible.

The collective is called DU&ICHworks anonymously behind mirror masks.
Everyone should recognize themselves. Political appropriation or personal authorship is rejected.

With its actions, the collective refers to the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
