dorfkind

Growing up in a village, being a teenager in a small place, spending holidays in a tiny rural place where my family grew up, constantly feeling isolated, struggling with the divorce of my parents. These are my memories of growing up as a “Dorfkind”. After moving to the US and living there as an undocumented immigrant, feelings of invisibility and lack of safety ruled my adolescence. Returning to Germany and visiting the places of my childhood now, making peace with my parents, their history and my memories, seeing my family and their story in a different light. A very personal, intimate and emotional series in progress.
