'The List' of illegal iimigrants killed trying to get in to Europe displayed in Athens

"If there is one unmissable work in the Athens Biennale being held between September 10th to November 8th, it is 'The List'", comments Evi Eleyftheriadou, a journalist of the daily, which has published the list. "A list adorned with 8,855 names of people aged between 18 months and 70 years old. A list of shame, because these are the people who lost their lives trying to get into Europe between 1993 and 2007. European borders are difficult to cross and the European dream is perilous for the thousands of immigrants fleeing their countries. Coming from Iran, Afghanistan, Africa, or Pakistan, their sole objective is Europe. The escorts often demand a lot of money and chances of reaching the destination are meagre. This piece sums up this macabre dream and raises awareness of the bitter reality of illegal immigration. Exhibited in Amsterdam in 2002, it makes one shudder, but the intention is to make people stop and think about the evils that surround us."
