ia ty for posting them. I found this pictures on tumblr

I wonder what the idea was behind using red chairs. It's a bit odd.

This particular ceremony is called Sarajevo Red Line. 11,541 empty chairs arranged in 825 rows

I don't know what the people who created this meant, but for me it brought to mind what other empty seats are left after those who died. School benches, dinner tables, offices...
