6 audio tracks narrated by Noah Voelker.
The articles are taken from BBC news portal, in which only locations were changed. In this way, event in Iraq became event in Norway, one from Malawi is placed in Romania, bomb attack from Syria was placed in Portugal.
The work highlights the difference in our reactions dependent on proximity of the event.
