The work origins in slogans written by activists from the human rights organization Asociación pro derechos humanos de Andalucía: APDHA, in Spain. They focus on issues such as migration, European border control and the many deaths of humans trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. The slogans are not written on the papers, but have been transferred on to them through exposure to the sun. This leaves some of the slogans nearly impossible to read, while others are clear. In this way, the work invites or rather demands a committed reading. It is the vulnerability of the words, the fragility of arguments when exposed to the erosion of time and nature, but also to the diverse politics of amnesia and denial that creates the frame through which the artist acts upon the material.
