There Is No Narrative in Water - Printed MatterThere Is No Narrative In Water is a project started in 2015. The limited edition of 25 emergency blankets includes 2 images, a poem and a USB with a 7 minute and 11-second audio/video piece. The audio is a narration of a young Afghan refugee and his perilous journey from Afghanistan to Greece. The brief breakouts throughout the audio adding up to 1 minute of silence, serves as a commemoration of all the faceless asylum seekers who have lost their lives at sea.
