The exhibition focuses on contemporary stories of flight and displacement. Refugees’ memories of individual stages of their journey are translated into other narrative forms using video, photography, music, text and drawing, giving the emotional impressions and longings as well as traumatic experiences a new aesthetic form. Various actors take part in this artistic translation process, recreating the escape process by drawing and filming scenes, slipping into the role of the refugee protagonists as speakers or performing the escape story in song form. This artistic transfer reveals new perspectives and details that reveal unexpected facets of the experience of flight.
