Ai Weiwei's latest exhibition, '#SafePassage' at Foam (Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam), depicts both the personal experiences that led him to leave China and those of hundreds of thousands of the world's refugees and migrants. Pictured: installation view. Photography: Anne Van Der Weijden

活动家艺术家艾未未以他与中国政府的意见分歧和他的艺术而闻名，他说离开祖国后，他对大批试图在欧盟寻找新生活的难民感到同情。有不同种类的难民。你可以通过恐惧或行动成为难民，这是一个复杂的问题。他说：“如果你不得不情愿地放弃你的家，离开属于你、你的家人和朋友的东西，你就是难民。”艾未未最近的展览“#安全通道”(#SafePassage)在阿姆斯特丹博物馆(Fotografiem阿姆斯特丹)展出，展览持续到12月7日。展览描述了他离开中国的个人经历，以及世界上数十万难民和移民的经历。

去年，当该机构邀请这位艺术家担任其杂志的客座编辑时，他利用这一邀请，只关注“监视下的言论自由”这一主题。他记录了自己令人望而生畏的经历-以及他试图保持某种控制的尝试-来说明这一主题。

他第一次遇到欧洲难民是去年冬天在希腊的莱斯博斯岛。艾未未回忆道：“当我看到他们乘船上岸时，我知道自己永远也帮不上忙，实在让我很难受。”此后，他从叙利亚、以色列和土耳其返回意大利和法国的难民营。

展览的第一个房间被一张名为“手指”的墙纸覆盖，这是一幅重复绘制的手臂，中指抬起，脸部和耳朵的一部分；上面是一组照片，记录了他在中国24小时监控下的生活。

作为一名多产的摄影师，他把第二间和第三间房间奉献给了他创作的有关欧洲难民危机的照片。墙上覆盖着他的iphone拍摄的一系列图片，并在Instagram上与他不断增长的观众分享。“拍这些照片、发照片、分享照片，都是生命的象征，就像骑自行车、锻炼身体的人。”艾未未说：“对我来说，这就是我如何看待(和)了解世界的方式。”

‘There are different kinds of refugee. You can be refugee by fear, by operations; it’s a complicated issue. If you have to unwillingly give up your home, to leave what belongs to you, your family and friends, you are a refugee,’ Ai explains

‘To take those photos, to post them and to share them, is a sign of life; it’s like someone who rides a bicycle, someone who exercises. For me, it is how I see [and] understand the world,’ says Ai

The artist's first encounter with Europe's refugees occurred last winter on the Greek island of Lesbos. ‘When I saw them come to shore on a boat, it really made me suffer knowing that I could never help,’ he recalls.
