| info | Together with Sea-Watch, Mother Berlin has created specially designed warning signs to draw attention to the life-threatening dangers faced by refugees in the Mediterranean. Warning signs exist to alert us to risks that we would otherwise overlook. Sea-Watch and Mother Berlin use this everyday medium to speak out in a simple yet powerful way about the forgotten dangers in the Mediterranean.
On the 7th of December, in front of the Brandenburg Gate, they created a striking installation of over 250 warning signs spanning nearly 20 by 20 square meters to capture the audience’s attention. These uniquely designed pictograms come to life as a sea of orange warning signs. This overwhelming installation creates an oppressive atmosphere that’s impossible to ignore. The immersive display, crafted from repurposed road signs, formed a "sea" of urgent messages. Stepping into the installation engulfs passerby in signs that convey an unsettling truth: people are dying, and it is all of our responsibility to act. Read more at Der Tagesspiegel. |
