We're all refugees! Those from the North, in search of sun, culture and new values. Those from the South, who enter the country as "overboarders" and stay illegally or crash their boats on the ramparts of Europe - in search of a more humane life", says Dieter Huber and justifies his work MARE MORTO as follows: "The death of thousands of boat refugees is, among many other events that are reported to us daily by the media, a fact that we look at only briefly. Probably also because our pleasant life could be affected by it. The political and media silence is outrageous, our silence a disgrace. Of course, we are not all in the same boat, but beyond the satisfaction of our existential needs, the only thing that counts in the end is: What is our personal contribution?
