SARAJEVO, July 19 (FENA) - The Museum of Crimes against Humanity and Genocide 1992-1995 erected in Sarajevo an art installation of mass graves called 'Proof' by Anita Zečić. It is dedicated to the civilian victims of the Prijedor Municipality murdered in 1992.
The installation consists of glass jars filled with earth from locations where the mass graves are. There are also empty jars hanging by wire or placed above old rusty shovels, symbolizing tombs that have not yet been found and locations not yet known.
“The name of the exhibition is 'Proof' as in the proof of genocide. In the municipality of Prijedor 99 mass graves were found. More than 700 victims are still being searched in Prijedor. It is important that as many people know what happened in the municipality of Prijedor in BiH,” the artist said.
The exhibition 'Proof' was symbolically placed the day before the collective burial in Prijedor for 86 Bosniak victims killed in 1992.
“The installation also contains rocks from Korićanske stijene that symbolize these sacrifices,” she emphasized.
Families, relatives and friends transferred coffins on their arms today from the hall of the Identification Center Šejkovača in Sanski Most to the trucks that were then sent to Hambarina where there will be a collective funeral for the killed civilians in Prijedor tomorrow.
Among the contents of the Museum of Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide 1992-1995 in Sarajevo is the setting called 'T-shirt that smells like my son'. It is a boy's t-shirt exhumed on Korićanske stijene, and tomorrow it will be buried in Prijedor. Mešković tells reporters that the T-shirt was handed over to the Museum by the boy's mother because she thought that after her death, there would be the best guard.
The ‘Proof’ installation consists of a total of 120 different sizes and eight shovels. Each spring also has a description of the name of the mass grave, location, geographic coordinates, as well as the number of exhumed and identified persons.
