List' of illegal immigrants 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.
