Ai Weiwei's Soleil Levant - migrants' lifejackets
Ai Weiwei's Soleil Levant - migrants' lifejackets

This artwork in Copenhagen, by renowned Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei, is made up of actual life jackets used by migrants crossing to the Greek island of Lesbos in search of safety or a better life in Europe.

There are 3500 of them, wedged in the giant window spaces of an industrial building.

It is astonishingly powerful and thought-provoking. And it packs an even greater punch as it is on the waterfront right in the middle of Nyhavn, the main tourist quarter of the city.
