HOW TO MAKE A REFUGEE

Beyond Belonging

Collins documents the coverage of the Kosovo war on the basis of an example case: A group of journalists encircle a refugee family on the sofa. A moment ago an injured teenager was implored to take off his t-shirt – though he should kindly keep on his baseball cap – to show his wounds. The boy looks visibly uncomfortable and directs his gaze at the floor during the family photo.
