And Now I Am Here
Summarize
Perspective
Project description
In 2015 two journalists, Els Duran and Evelien Vehof, conducted interviews regarding statelessness in Europe in which they came across complicated regulations, coping mechanisms and pragmatism. Creative Court developed the video installation And Now I Am Here based upon these findings. This video installation questioned feelings of displacement from various angles through the use of interviews, excerpts and quotes from literature and philosophy were merged with the images of video artist Farah Rahman, whose work revolves around migration.
This video installation was created as part of the framework of the Europe by People arts and design programme which took place during the Dutch presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2016.
