Hungarian borders

The Oycha Kupel refugee centre is situated by the Bulgarian University, yet the two worlds couldn't be more apart. I was not allowed entry into any of the refugee centres whilst in Bulgaria and even talking with refugees outside the centres has been difficult. Taking photographs was a challenge. The psychological hardship of living in a confined space, without the prospect of anything different is a form of violence. The refugee centre fenced in, security in place, boxed like architecture form part of this narrative of seclusion. I shot this picture moments before security demanded my documents and had already called the police. I refused, left ...for that day. Oycha Kupel refugee centre, Sofia, Bulgaria.
