“Thousand and one visages - Auschwitz 1942-44″, 1001 handprints with aceton - work in progress (use of the archives “Archives générales du Royaume de Belgique. Dossiers individuels d'étrangers.”) - (credit: E. Landesmann)
Supported by the Fondation Auschwitz - ASBL Mémoire d'Auschwitz 

With the goal to move beyond the abstract nature of numbers to give the victims back their humanity, and to question the place of the individual in history, Thousand and one visages will feature a thousand and one faces of the 1.1 million people killed at Auschwitz. These faces will come from photos taken prior to deportation and printed manually with acetone on tissue papers. Texts portraying living conditions in the camps will also be offered for reading, leaving the viewers to decide on the links they will make between these faces and the genocide.
