GAME OVER
Panayis Chrysovergis
With the current popularity of the Pokemon Go, i found my own way to draw the world’s attention towards refugee crisis with the help of Pokemon Go.
3000 Lifevests from Greek shores worn by migrants and refugees fleeing conflict have being displayed at Parliament Square in London.
Taking advantage of the recent installation, I saw many pokemon users hunting pokemon across the refugee’s lifejackets.
This image hold a strong message asking the Pokemon Go fanatic gamer’s to take a break from hunting for digital creatures and instead turn their attention to helping Syrian families and refugees trapped in war zones.
