Undocumented lives: documentary book
Undocumented lives is the first documentary book about the everyday life of irregular migrants in Europe.
Paperless people are living in Europe without residence permits. They are not included in any registers. Officially, they don’t even exist.
Photographer Katja Tähjä and journalist Kaisa Viitanen travelled around Europe meeting invisible people.
Undocumented children, women and men from Finland to Spain, Greece, Belgium, The Netherlands, UK and Sweden told them what it is like to live under a constant fear of getting caught and being deported. This book was almost two years in the making.
The photographs and stories of 21 people or families reveal the little-known shadow people of today’s Europe.
Despite the wad of human rights agreements signed by the European Union member states, the paperless are left to fend for themselves.
Undocumented migrants are Europe’s outlaws.
