The heart of the exhibition is the installation of over 3,200 'toe tags'. Undocumented Migration Project Monday, January 18 sees the start of the participatory art installation project "Hostile Terrain 94? in the inner courtyard of the Bible Museum at the University of Münster. The project focuses on the consequences and the victims of the USA's border policy decisions. "Hostile terrain? is the term which the United States Border Patrol uses to describe the strip of land separating Mexico from the USA and the Sonoran Desert.
