MIGRATIONVia PanAm and Climate changeWhile working on various subjects around the globe, Van Lohuizen discovered that migration often played a role in many issues and in many different forms, be it climate change, war and conflict or economical issues. In Via PanAm Van Lohuizen travels in one year from Tierra del Fuego in Southern Chile to the most northern part of Alaska, Deadhorse. Along the more than 25.000 km road he investigates and visualizes the patterns of migration. In his new project about climate change he pictures people who got effected by the rising sea level. In Bangladesh millions of people will face a disaster and become climate refugees. On the Carteret islands in Papua New Guinea people are already moving because their islands disappear.
