Today, the debate about identity and belonging is a complex and per se open matter. Nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of this, simple attributions and polar categories are often used to radically limit and exclude this very openness.
However, moving in such a diverse field requires the necessary courage and the ability to endure contradictions and contradictory aspects and to deal with them in a constructive manner. It takes the courage to keep things in limbo, in the unknown and unresolved.
The photos in the series, all self-portraits, show the fears and pain of this confrontation. Wandering between worlds takes energy. Being displaced, be it concrete physical displacement or identity-related dislocation, is a tough undertaking, exhausting and a challenge both physically and mentally. The photos of the series show tense moments of being in-between and traces the tension and irritation that arises in spaces of transition and is often overlooked or swept under the carpet as society likes us to be strong, especially in phases of transition.
