PASSPORT
This is my family’s story of escape from Bosnia to finally getting the unrestricted residence authorisation in Germany (over a period of 13 years). I tell the story with the passport´s help. They are like my family´s personal diaries. Though it was not us keeping these diaries, they were written by Hannover´s immigration office. The entrys in our passports visualize the power a state has over people and how these people are absolutely powerless against this state in return.
