COTTON WARNING
Description
The minor degree comprises objects embroidered by me on typical lining cotton. The three paintings are graphic transformations of floor plans of three (out of a few hundred) concentration camps where the Uyghurs are imprisoned. They show bare essentials of the camps, like the layout of the barracks and roads. They correspond with doublets—colourful and attractive products of the fashion world (the main buyer of cotton) on which I illustrated selected Uyghur legends. The linings of the doublets are made of the same material as the paintings. All works are 100% cotton, so it can be assumed that statistically 20% of each work comes from factories in Xinjiang. A 2022 UN report stated that the actions of the People’s Republic of China can be categorised as a crime against humanity.
