How does living and working in a foreign place affect us? When one tries to make it home? When home is a place where everything is strange?

Ten dialogues with ten artists: German, English, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Dutch and Japanese. All negotiating new environments and many finding this new experience registering in their work. All speak of the relationship between their output and where they choose to practice. Some feel on the margins of the new cultures they have entered as visitors. Others, not at all. I met people who were new arrivals in foreign cities. They were in places where they didn’t know a soul yet they didn’t see themselves as foreign or as tourists.
