Hung out to Dry
March 12, 2015STICHTING NOODOPVANG DAKLOZE VREEMDELINGEN UTRECHT (foundation that provides emergency shelter and legal guidance for homeless refugees in Utrecht)
Yesterday I shot the first photo for an ongoing project for STICHTING NOODOPVANG DAKLOZE VREEMDELINGEN UTRECHT (foundation that provides emergency shelter and legal guidance for homeless refugees in Utrecht). In this conceptual series I portray some of the foundation’s clients to show how implementing generic immigration policies in individual cases can lead to absurdity.
This first photo Hung out to Dry, shows a Tibetan man who was denied asylum in The Netherlands for not speaking Chinese (Tibet being a ‘province’ of China). Because China refuses him travel documents, he is now stuck in limbo between the two countries and has quite literally been Hung out to Dry.
