where are you really from?


The exploration of the common question, “Where are you really from?” was inspired by the conceptual structure of the Her Noise Archive. Irene Revell (2023) emphasized that the archive isn't just associated with “feminism”, but encompasses a broader theme of “power.” It’s designed to provoke power imbalances and explore the ways individuals can interrogate power relations and dynamics. The question itself, “where are you really from?,” holds a higher significance within this context, exploring how power dynamics not only dictate who poses the question but also influences who becomes the subject of these inquiries.

The artist, Vendela Håkonsen, hired me to create the visual identity and graphic design for this project, which was comissed by Aesthetica Magazine and Audible to be featured in the Aesthetica Short Film Festival 2024.
