Homebeing, 2024

Video, 10‘56“

“The spaces that we often take for granted are very important in shaping us and our lives. When our familiar and lived in spaces are taken away from us, it can be a great loss of a part of ourselves. The notions of home and belonging are perhaps difficult to physically pinpoint, especially for those who have migrated.

To belong, I believe, means not only to places that have shaped us historically, but also to an environment or social group in which we feel physically and emotionally safe. We belong where there is a state of equilibrium between identities and societal expectations in the place we live and within our communities. A place where we can be ourselves and are able to respect the diverse values of others.

Homebeing is a retrospective work that seeks to preserve the memories of my soon to be gone, two generation childhood home in Indonesia. I hope it invites the viewer to reflect on how lived spaces, past and present, shape our histories, identities, and sense of belonging.”

Duration: May 9–August 30, 2026

Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises.

Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.
