How much different is one person to another?
The idea of self and the other has been ingrained socially, culturally, historically. As cultures collide and merge, they become increasingly intertwined, and the lines that once divided them begin to blur.
There’s a permeability to the sense of the other.
One may find themselves between those blurred lines of division, a space they may have previously thought themselves on one side of. It’s not enough to question one’s place to understand their role as the other. To comprehend this permeability of othering is to acknowledge the duality–and at times a contradictory nature of it.
Through various means of investigation: self parody, interviews, recollection of the archive, and historical analysis, Was i Ever Really Here? seeks to explore not only one’s existence as the other, but also their complicitness in the process.
What does it mean to exist in between?
