In his work Displaced, German visual artist Jens Schwarz explores the topic of migration during the so-called refugee crisis in Germany between September 2015 and April 2016. Schwarz took pictures of displaced migrants upon their arrival in Munich and at the Bavarian border crossings and recorded different stages of hope and despair throughout a journey towards an anticipated, improved future.
This transatlantic project was initiated in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the sister city partnership of Munich and Cincinnati, Ohio.
