A cage into which they were first driven, and then from which they were expelled. Images of individual people, recreated from archival photographs, like ghosts pass through 23 years of life. At the original exhibition, the projection was directed towards the ceiling through the scaffolding to epmhasize the architecture layers of the area and the situation itself.
