    Harun Farocki writes about the process of the film’s conception on the Transit Migration website: ‘In our two-part video project, we have selected a variety of diagrams that illustrate migration… This is followed by film stills, animations, and comparisons of images with different arrows representing a country’s imports and exports, or population exchange between two nations and the related flow of goods and people.’ The final exhibited piece excludes the second part (see: http://www.transitmigration.org/db_transit_e/ausgabe_e.php?inhaltID=54).
