Be a brave man. You cannot. Deal with words good. Enough im gonna rip off. Theyve risked their life. To make. Sure of this very few social viability i think if you go from being. The chinese artist ai wei wei has made the Global Crisis surrounding displacements refugee. Migration and exile the central theme of his recent work. For you can hear you license twenty fourteen more than ten thousand refugees have died in the mediterranean go for. Me visit yuval by document everything i think records are needed for future generations so theyll think on someone documented it. My way way critic of the chinese regime in two thousand and eleven he was arrested for years he was not allowed china. First opportunity he left and settled in but that was in july two thousand and fifteen. I didnt have a passport for over four years and i thought i would never get it back. I was in despair. And felt that we were living in a Society Without fundamental law and basic security though. They were to bring the ball. Or show us our retainer watts or my family didnt know where i was in couldnt even down to a lawyer who should. Know of tennis or duction was meticulously planned that hed put a black hood over my head. So youre welcome berthelot sure i did know where they were taking the fall of some secret place. And here there were two soldiers watching over me all day. They never moved never spoke. What if you just had to sit there with no i wasnt allowed to move either by outside help i should see your fortune if i wanted to use the toilet water. I was only allowed to when they let me. Put it on. Them while i still have nightmares sometimes. Took dont see a way out that will never go completely away. And memories often surface at night or. Get up at first i found this place frightening it was dark there was no light it was damp and very cold inside. But i said ill take it for im an architect i can fix these problems. Im used to underground spaces because when my father was young we lived underground there to. His finish with an interest. Not. Anymore anyway way teaches that the battling university of the arts as the Einstein Foundation visiting professor. He has the students come to his own studio for classes. New. To the scene with his master class is refugees ice past and present in germany under around the world. Guard and so important. One of them in the circumstance of her. We miss her so spy way way is a demanding teacher he expects his students to be passionate about their projects. Now very often they see your work but in general you make a clear. You know your mind the hardtop and but the storytelling or the narrative for its not attractive because theres so much detail some you sit there and the most interesting part. So yeah you said you were clear. For them that the installation was inspired by les bons. Many refugees like the mayor gave the life jacket stuck. I want to use them when the time is right you want to be right but. I want to draw attention to the Refugee Crisis Center make it more of a public issue. That is so confront people in berlin or europe with it. So its more than just something they see on television every day. I way way colistin when he was photographed on the island for an indian newspaper lying in the position in which the syrian toddler could have been found dead on a beach in turkey. Understand why you cant do that. I think we should be able to take any photo we want to because im an artist isnt that what freedom of expression means. Children are dying every day not just alive thousands of already died in the sea. She has. To go. Now. Or look at aleppo. How many people are dying in this very minute as we speak or hard we know how many children have died there people care. The only thing they care about is that i lay down like that its ridiculous. No one ever explained to me why i cant do that. And i certainly dont know. Could it be that they have different moral standards. I weigh way off and gets up a full five in the morning to work on his memoir in which he also writes about his father the famous poet i ching. Which and always my father had a Strong Influence on me because he was a man of principle or whatever he did he could do very well course sort of it all. Washed. Too should pop i was born in one nine hundred fifty seven. The same year he was branded a rightist the actual i along with hundreds of thousands of others. On the anti Rightist Movement was how maos a donkey dealt with chinese intellectuals. They were exiled to remote areas of their Living Conditions were miserable. Our situation in exile was like that of todays refugees in both cases people are declared enemies by a political system shipped here. To make his documentary about the global refugee crisis human flow im way way and his team traveled to more than twenty countries. I. Just go in those walk in their. Life and say i knew what. He does i won the interview him just just i was. Able to look look you. Know im not being you should just show the harder theyre turned a bit here to be close to him. Where is your dad i got the numbers. In afghanistan. Right. Now they are not going to talk to him but mike are in here because this is what i can hear you miss them yeah. You know. Youre such a small smart boy you must be a very good student to a school yeah thank you. First mission school. Teacher. Its obvious that these people didnt come here in search of a better life its because they have no other choice what double life and others stuck here waiting to pass through oh tell me go to the gate remains close to one goal they wont make it down for them and dont want to walk home. I. Want you to its like the end of the world yeah. Cold war morning southward towards the east a lot i can see europe is working hard on a treaty with turkey to the bottom which in my view will turn the refugees into slaves. Because its all be nothing but its of exchange army would generally do so much no one really understands how to tackle the refugee problem at the real kid youre. Not mean but i. Saw someone here. Because the grandson nice. Meaning. That we dont we dont need a meaning piano. You know when youre the big piano we need a big piano we dont need the mini. Theres a piano player only because she has professional player because the wall is in syria she cannot play on the street years so shes had them there was no ask her what. You want to play she said the paid off and. I. This is a little part you want to play for longer harmful this is part of the one. Hundred year i was surprised. As she began she suddenly said how do you play again i cant seem to play anyone. And i said. All this effort to get a piano when you forget it and she said i cant remember this and then she did play a few notes and i said just a couple of notes are ok to. If i write a way family life is centered around the kitchen he likes to make chinese dumplings with his girlfriend one fan and their son i. Will let your father show you show your. Gum one rub them in the flour and itll work. And i really do want to tell you its easier. Just watch me. Turn it. Roll it again. Thats fine. To me i love was a good companion. To what he has a better relationship to his mother than he does to me and thats understandable that im pretty strict and sometimes he may think im too strict which. I often interfere in other peoples business. Or if i reprimand someone at the office he doesnt like that or to the tops of. What he says why do you criticize them like that point where i think thats great of a sword or as a town hall. My way way has done a number of projects in new york recently and also looked for traces of his earliest days he first went there to study in one nine hundred eighty one then too he was living in exile like many other chinese artists of his generation he had wanted to escape oppression at home. You know your shorts are three of us are still seem to have been in years i spent in new york from age twenty four to thirty six or to national i had some of my most important experiences growing. Period i learned a lot about art and contemporary thought chase each other there should add signoria but new york is also a very long li city i wasnt always happy. There for i was actually. I had no money yeah. I could hardly speak english in mail it was pretty hopeless. This is my apartment yeah. There slopped. I just believe you know this story. And this one both on the site. I basically asked him to do in there and i feel quite. Depressed. Yeah just a waste of that day and all but thats the way its a few years and a few more years and i feel more years. Was. In summer two thousand and sixteen i way way travel to beijing for his first visits home since leaving china the year before. Or the two most sure course im overshadowed from the minute i arrive theres no doubt about it but its always going to be like that where youre from. A huge of which the feeling of coming back. Can i say. Its miserable its all gold you know nothings changed its a lot some things have gotten worse. For you. Altogether it puts you in a bad mood so you this in to get them. So you want on your and thats why i always twitter something every day but i know it doesnt have much of an effect for what you. Can tell this is stranger than expecting us are not hard to tell. I specifically said i want to empty and clean. So you wonder for this left right studio is very important to me. And its where ive been working since two thousand and six ten years already. Back then i participated in the documentary and concert he. Lets on into a very large studio to realize my project of the band and thats why i rented it. Off we. Still need your sixteen point nine meters not sixteen meters hurdle the diameter is not correct if it doesnt fit and has to be completely redone right there any problems like this itll have to be reworked so i have to say maybe a. Hundred will look i see a lot of problems here at the seams. And i mean we made a model of a refugee boat yet. Well we found a factory it specializes in this kind of boat. We asked why they were so busy. For what they said they have orders for thousands or tens of thousands of books for what order or from. Where they need so many boats called for ports and they said turkey what i summed up when i realized these are both so for refugees or me they all come from this one manufacturer and im going to talk you know. That. This photo was taken when i just moved to new york. That you were cute back then the handsome man so sweet. But hes not so bad now either. As a child he was a very good boy how did he end up like this he was so tidy as a child he always wore clean clothes now he wears things that look like they came from the trash he was sweet as a child. And that. They are what they are while apart he was imprisoned for eighty one day. Later it became clear that he wasnt physically mistreated. But he couldnt stand the psychological torture. That he had no idea what would happen to him. Where do you see one days without daily. Lives. Watched as his mother i was very worried whether he was even alive or whether he was still with us whether he was being mistreated. I went through hell during that is a few one days. Away i thought im sending this picture to my grandson so he can see what his grandfather looks like watch them this year this is what i wrote. Yeah my darling this is my favorite photograph of me and your grandfather. It was taken in shanghai before your father was born that you and i ching and go here and you know you know thats almost sixty years ago amazing. Really almost sixty years i dont know if you were twenty three that you know yeah the yorkers. Are here is what he wants and i wanted to be where he can live in freedom and. Yes and i treated her. Well and that it was but its good that he still has a chinese passport so he can return because im still here. What you do after im gone is up to you but as long as im alive you need to come back and work then. There. Who can stop us right now. I. Think. That cow if. You get it. Here. Thats. On the phone for. I think. My life is like an exile its not going to end my statuses like that of a refugee will what happens hell are. In berlin and i know a leader free life with my child and my girlfriend over here but i dont understand german readers so i cant easily take part in society or to walk in but im shocked and i can choose to return to my place of origin because its very unsafe or we are what i did he fought in vain and evil pretty hard to watch. On its own. You dont mean that after the camp in uganda many was forcibly cleared there were all kinds of clothes shoes and other things left behind yet. I didnt want these things to be left behind that way always good only so we collected the clothes and brought them to germany he washed in the iron dome. Everything up sorter didnt photograph it you. Watch out of it the easy job. I mean to be able to size up the refugee issue is much bigger than me realize. There will be new wars to go for and more places will dry up like in kenya and then there will be more refugees since people wont be able to live there anymore. To go and the wall that america wants to build along the Mexican Border to go all those things are based on narrow minded political views drug abuse based on excluding others peoples attitudes. To his film human flow i way way travel to israel and the gaza strip for the first time a company does always on his travels by and large group of young assistants of many nationalities. I. Should your home your job but when the world is different kinds of refugees some are exposed and have to flee their country but there are so many refugees they get locked into a place and will never have the chance to move freely so you would you dont. I. Was. Cut out of loud. Enough i was. Built. For completion that i think these people feel miserable genius image and their sorrow doesnt just come from or what you should but rather from cultural discrimination and isolation by other states. And its impossible to deal or cope with that in a lifetime the whole day or even the following generations might be refugees thats the big tragedy playing out right now. But. Look i mean i mean most of our free guys here robert moore is already. One of their sangma from egypt when the one years to have tunnels like years ago it was easy to smuggle a lot of us like these through the tunnels to gaza. One in gaza a way suddenly has an idea that he decided to film in the city its not unusual for him to change his plans on the spot if the moment i was sure that tiger is the king of the. But one day the men would be that locking him in a cage destroys the Natural Balance properly so thats how i see it but the truth. Of the cooking she younger and i put in the way people treat animals their liberal drum today is the way they treat each other i dont think thats a fear for young. Girls and what i think such a life lost all meaning you sure that you are going. To see any. Movie. In the world. Is going to be what i mean but i mean just now when you watch what i did so we. Welcome entryway by the big break to get off the wall and i was so on the. Top of your generation. Yeah but its important to have a young peoples voice because thats the future where albeit bad kind of goes i mean interview which really is just sit over there yeah i think overnight altogether yeah yeah but lets come over here. Yeah good. What youre saying the future is going to be a moment we have no hyper finding a job for the sake of getting a degree. Im going to look like she did to me i mean this makes me. I way way was back in new york again in late two thousand and sixteen for his exhibition at date projects made up of clothes discarded by refugees at domania camp this was the first of a series of major art projects in new york. One of the insights but the show is tricky one would expect the closing would be a creative for a clothing it would be arabic dress very yeah and here this is exactly the same thing yeah this modern society in syria the cost modern society if this is if its a very profound message just completely contemporary its the same thing that people are wearing here in brockway. Or this. I. Pad so i would wait a while when he doesnt want to maybe because this is really just a statement but im going to give you the microphone. So im killed for coming enjoy the show. You know your feeble you mean the trouble for new york city is a city of immigrants. And everyone here has some connection to refugees or migrants. That. I find it fitting to show the exhibition factor to show how far should. Or should autoroute you going with every exhibition i also try to answer the question of who i am. Or. Oh i. Did i think we had on the other hand i said she didnt have the benefit of i did not come to see you guys ok i want to have that i asked her if. I had an anatomy. On the young the national we have been working on the film human flow for a year to appear. Whats this we come from the british few. Other shastri some of the sun are having to eating much happy. Shes just nice issue beating you know you do this i did want to shoot it i didnt handle hunting kit at home but you dont cujo didnt have to beat up culture that has a digital should look like a. Ninja to be a jewish. Terrorist the fun we should be to us. Or join them on towns or should i think what im doing has an effect its useful. But whether it helps the refugees from a bomb i just dont know. I dont know who can help them hearing. This isnt a Single Person or as many millions worldwide and more than sixty Million People have lost their own the sun and more are losing im every day. What are you sure my art is like a voice for me. When i use it to try you can be a song or lament ok she can go when the meaning of our changes. We need to change the language. Just. Might.
