Duration: 60 minutes
Three women take off to a journey through different landscapes, appreciating the overviews and horizons, but also zooming into its detailed wavy curves, contours and hollow spots.
On their way they invite other women to question the essence of their own inner landscapes.
Inspired by documentary art, the artists chose to meet and interview women who differ in age, culture, profession, background and marital status. The questions were the same, the answers varied.
The differences between the women was a starting point and an existing fact, but the launch points, similarities, and moments of connection, were a surprising source of inspiration and empathy.
This piece is a synthesis of a collage consisting of experiences and impressions from a journey following female identity.
