Those Who Go Those Who Stay

Ruth Beckermann comprises a personal and political stream of thought, guided by general, overreaching movements of migration, meandering and change. Rain on a windowpane, a fire truck, a tomcat with innumerable off spring: it is an intentionally unintentional gaze that allows for chance encounters, for stories and memories. Nigerian asylum seekers in Sicily, immigrants in Paris, the young women of Alexandria, the Arab musician in the Jewish Promised Land. The fabric that molds the world is torn, knotted, disintegrating and reinvigorated. A stunningly beautiful view on the fragmentation of Europe, and the dynamics and dilemmas of migration.
