They focus on the concept of ‘home’ from two different angles: as experienced reality, feelings of duty, and associations with a country on the one hand, and as subconscious wishes, fears, and longings on the other. By assembling expressions of these complicated and multifaceted relationships to ‘home’ and to ‘homeland’, the exhibition places this subjective lived experience within a global context.
