Displaced is an light installation created by Alexander Reichstein. It depicts refugeeism throughout the ages in the form of dozens of shimmering evacuee figures.
Alexander Reichstein - Displaced, reflects the harsh reality of the war in Ukraine. Millions of people were forced to leave their homes, heading into the unknown and having to start their life from scratch. Artist has created dozens of transparent human-size figures of refugees walking and carrying their belongings along with them.
To create these images, artist has used photos of Ukrainian refugees, mixing them with images of Finnish evacuees from Karelia during the Finnish-Soviet Winter War, Russian civilians fleeing from the Nazi army after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, and the German population leaving East Prussia and Sudetenland during the Red Army offensive in 1945.
the installation consisting of at least 40 human figures.
The soundscape created by Petri Laakso adds to the ambience, mixing refugee stories in different languages with music, sound of steps, hum of flying aircraft and rumble of distant bombing.
