Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory art project sponsored and organized by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), a non-profit research-art-education-media collective, directed by anthropologist Jason De León. The exhibition is composed of ~3,200 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona between the mid-1990s and 2019. These tags are geolocated on a wall map of the desert showing the exact locations where remains were found.

Umělecká instalace se ve Francii setkává spíše s nepochopením a odporem. Informuje o tom francouzská agentura AFP či umělecký časopis The Art Newspaper.

There is so much information around us to soak in that we end up discovering things that leave a great impact albeit a little late. In this case, almost 6 years! Bored of deciding what to watch on Netflix, my younger sibling insisted that I give this movie called The Walk a try. She insisted that it’ll be an exhilarating watch and it turned out to be just that and much more.
