The long corridor of the TexLed factory houses sculptures of skeletal human figures evoking the condition of prisoners forced into slave labor. The works, made with raw materials resembling ash and bones, represent bodies consumed by hunger and exhaustion. Along the walls, informational panels tell the stories of detainees. The ceiling with metal beams and peeling walls preserve the industrial appearance of the building, transformed into an exhibition space of the memorial.
