Video installation and mixed media at Palazzo Forcella de Seta

This installation by Italian Swiss research and artist duo Forensic Oceanography was composed of four video reconstructions: Liquid Traces (2014) and Death by Rescue (2016), ​and Mare Clausum (2018) and ​The Crime of Rescue (2018) made in collaboration with Forensic Architecture. Each part analysed one aspect or event of the European border control systems in the Mediterranean, highlighting the dramatic consequences of these practices for the lives of migrants.
