[Artists' horsesh*t statement]

The controversial artwork called 'phantom pain' was created by 22-year-old Anne Bothmer, who argued that 'lorries driving into crowds, bombings and shootings' caused a 'massive stream of irrational reactions.'

Bothmer wrote: 'As a spectator of these attacks we do not want to experience it, but we want to be part of it. The overarching tone of the messages within the aftermath amplifies a feeling of collective victimisation by European citizens.

'However, in comparison there were only a few who were really present at the attacks and the rest of Europe only perceived them through cinematic and photographic imagery.

By using a provocative approach, my work unites these traumatic events with our own hyper reality, whereby the spectator is able to review his or her position.

'Because, can you call yourself a victim when you were not being present at one of these terrorist attacks?'
