SUPERFLEX launched the work, Foreigners, Please Don't Leave Us Alone with the Danes, in 2002 as posters in the streets of Copenhagen as a comment on the increasingly reactionary immigration politics in Denmark. Sadly, the work is still relevant today. In retrospect, Danish immigration polices seem like an avant-garde of xenophobic policy-making: today, all over Europe, parties on both the right and left run on platforms which stoke anti-immigrant sentiment and promise more closed borders.
