War: a massacre of people who don't know each
other for the profit of people who know each
other but don't massacre each other.

11,541 Sarajevo Red Line
11,541 red chairs are pictured along Titova street
in Sarajevo as the city marks the 20th anniversary
of the start of the Bosnian war, April 6, 2012. One
for each citizen of the city of Sarajevo killed
during the war. The anniversary finds the Balkan
country still deeply divided, power shared
between Serbs, Croats and Muslims in a single
state ruled by ethnic quotas and united by the
weakest of central governments.
From an idea of Haris Pasovic.

825 rows (as an audience). This red audience
will stretch for 800 meters and end in the area
between the building of the Presidency of BiH and
Ali-pashas Mosque. 11, 541 empty chairs
symbolize 11, 541 victims of the war which,
According to Research and Documentation Center
were killed during the Siege of Sarajevo.
The plan for the Sarajevo Red Line, was first
publicly presented on March 27 at the Sarajevo
City Hall by a team of artists and officials.
According to the Research and Documentation
Center, of the 11,541 people killed in the siege,
643 were children.
The siege of Sarajevo lasted 44 months and is
considered today the longest in modern history.
Most of the people killed in the city were hit by
snipers and bombs fired from the surrounding
Serb-held mountains.
