Shot during the Kosovo War (1998–99), how to make a refugee,
by British artist Phil Collins (born 1970), addresses the depiction of
war victims by journalists and documentarians. Here Collins brings a
critical, self-conscious eye to the conventions governing the
representation of suffering in the media.
