wo war zuhause: Rekapitulationen zweier Schwestern
In our collaborative project, we explore places that we once called home but have since left behind. Having been born in Korea and now living in Germany, we have experienced countless apartments, rooms, and spaces in between. Some of these places remain in our memories, while others fade away, erased physically, linguistically, and emotionally. What does it mean to have had many homes, yet not to have one now?
We approach this as a queer practice of memory, rejecting linear narratives. Through fragments, overlaps and gaps in voices, images and juxtapositions, we seek not to rediscover 'home', but to reimagine it from our current perspective. This perspective is shaped by the Korean words we carry with us and the German phrases we now speak.
This is not a reconstruction, but a shift and a re-experiencing. Each apartment, table and window takes on new meaning, defined by who we are today and what we have forgotten.
