MEMORIAL IN EXILE
In 2005 ArcelorMittal made a commitment to finance and build a memorial on the grounds of Omarska, the site of the most notorious concentration camp of the Bosnian war. Twenty years after the war crimes committed there, still no space of public commemoration exists.

Realised by Susan Schuppli & Steffen Kraemer for Forensic Architecture.
