Half Malaysian Half Dutch… With some Portuguese and Chinese as well. Grew up with equal amounts of time in Malaysia and Holland. Spent half a year in Beijing and cannot seem to stop the need to travel. As a 4th year student of visual Arts in Rotterdam, I’ve been working on the subject of identity and with that where I belong in current society, I decided to try and understand myself through others and became inspired by fellow Eurasian Kalina Silverman’s “Big Talk”. The book “Third Culture-Kids” by David Pollock & Ruth. E. van Reken also proved to contain very necessary information on how we deal we shifting through worlds. I’m now working on a project to connect and understand this multi-layered existence we all have, embracing many identities as one as we continue to chameleon into the next fase of our lives. I made a series of photographs on mid-format analogue film and built an installation around them, the picture is me inside my installation :) I would love to hear from anyone who is willing to share their stories with me about ; adapting to new cultures, living in-between worlds, where is home? Or anything else that might cross your mind. Send me an email : jowikemper@gmail.com OR Facebook me : Jowi Kemper and write me your thoughts!! -- source link
