A picture is worth a thousand words. Visual Artist Jan Rothuizen has won the Dutch Design Award with his project Refugee Republic. This interactive map offers the sound, vision and emotion of daily life in a refugee camp.

In his work, Jan Rothuizen (b. 1968, Amsterdam) employs photography, drawings, texts, and on-site infiltrations where the boundaries of the personal and communal shift constantly. His work has been exhibited in New York, Singapore, Cairo, Guangzhou, Thessalonica and Berlin. Jan Rothuizen lives and works in Amsterdam.
