presents Out of Place
Many people’s daily lives are characterized by
a constant search for identity and sense of belonging.
This programme focuses on video works where the feeling
of being an outsider is prominent and where the human
search for belonging is palpable, whether it concerns
family members, or the question of one’s own identity.
The contributors all have something in common, they
depict other cultures than the Swedish one and look
at Sweden from a different point of view.

The title is taken from Edward W. Said’s memoir
“Out of Place”.
”Nationality, background, real origins and past
actions all seemed to be sources of my problem; I could
not in any convenient way lay the ghosts that continued
to haunt me from school to school, group to group, situation
to situation.”
“To me, nothing more painful and paradoxically
sought after characterizes my life than the many displacements
from countries, cities, abodes, languages, environments
that have kept me in motion for many years”
“It was also at this point I felt that coming
from a part of the world that seemed to be in a chaotic
transformation became the symbol of what was out of
place about me.”
Curator Anna Linder. Thanks to Camilla Bauer for translation
