The Αργυρώς Μποζώνη
When he began the evacuation of the refugee camp in Eidomeni, temporary residents, they left behind clothes and …
shoes, that I considered necessary for the continuation of their journey.
The fifteen thousand refugees, mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, in May 2016, they left behind remnants of the temporary residence and along with the clothes and shoes, personal mementos and photos.
The Ai Wei-Wei, the activist Chinese artist who spent time in Eidomeni, and has been criticised many times during the refugee crisis, for the projects that were snippets of life of the refugees, life jackets, tents and blankets, or remnants from the boats which were passing in Greece, he set up an exhibition in New York city, which is considered one of the leading exhibitions of 2016. The name “Washing machine” and it is the clothes and the shoes that they left behind in the camp the refugees.
The Ai wei Wei the washed, the cleaned and sized presenting them, like a gallery or department store clothes. When one enters the exhibition, he thinks that is a bargain second-hand clothes, later she understands that the importance of the report is to restore the real dimension of the refugees, that is people like us, a reminder of the people who many times we see it as a nightmare.
