Impossible Histories

pt.1: Israel
Trial documents 1917-1918, Plexi Glass, Light
2022
@ Six Works by Paraika Ballhaus Rixdorf, Berlin

First part of an ongoing series/process of works

related to epigenetics and identity.

In 2018 I came across trial documents from the Finnish Civil War era,

naming a certain person with exactly same name, approximate

year of birth and part of the country

as my great-grandfather supposedly might have had.

However, it seemed like this was another person or at

least the story we had of him did not seem to fit

the identity described in these papers.

Galleria Huuto
Eerikinkatu 36

The exhibition is comprised around a video work
of an empty train car, illuminated by the light from the surrounding landscape passing by.

Doubled by the images hung in frames on the wall, the window becomes a view into speculative realities, portraying identities and borders of personality.
