The neologism „KAPUTAL” is a combination of words - CAPITAL and KAPUTT. While Capital is part of the title of the exhibition itself, the word Kaputt comes from German and refers to something that is ruined or broken up. The letters are made of cheap materials and covered with rubbish materials - mainly plastic and cardboard - and refer to temporary tents built in refugee camps around the world or provisional shelters erected by the homeless.
