Bodies hang like clothes on a line, frustrated soldiers take advantage of the vulnerable, there is no distinction between man and animal. Entry Only recalls the artist’s visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp in modern Poland, where innocent people were gassed and murdered en masse as the world turned a blind eye to one of the greatest atrocities of mankind.
