When I started Migrants I-III, I wanted to give a face to the people going missing every day.

Not only to the drowned corpses which wash up on Europe's shores, but to the scores of the living wandering through Europe without an identity, no longer officially recognisable as alive. (…) I soon felt, that the work wasn’t finished. Today, the focus on disappearing recedes into the background, where it remains as an ever-present white noise before which other events evolve and develop their own dependencies. - Georges Aperghis
