*being home
as the other
another home
in another world
another place
strangely familiar
I warch aisde outside
watched from the other side
farmiliarly strange*
sitting as a way of making/finding home.
the chairs mark the places where flow bene sat to find home
in a place that was foreign - to whom they were foreign.
*a first touch
he calls me 'frère'
displaced
I don't know what he means*
the other home is a minimal-invasive site-specific installation in the Stade Léopold Sédar-Senghor in Senegals Capital Dakar.
The practice of sitting becomes a way of finding a place in an environment that is foreign - and to whom you are a foreigner.
It investigates the experience of being other and the strange place between arriving and feeling out of place.
*what a home is it
when I have to hide?
Hiding from myself
in my home
I take the main entrance
displaced
in my castle
we are present*
