Yesterday I Lost A Country.

However migration is an event happening since the dawn of humanity, the public does not yet well-receive it for many reasons, especially the generalisation, the flattened images of migrants, and the neglect of human aspects of migrant’s journeys.

The project aims to explore migrants’ routes on their own words, follow them from their home countries to their current destination, and develop an audiovisual installation that tells these stories. The aim is to create an individual personal narrative and find the contradictions between their personal stories and the public stories and motivate them to be part of the journeys in the installation time.

To achieve that, two interviews were conducted with two migrants in Berlin. The stories’ complications and the routes’ unclarity were challenging to represent from emotional and authentic perspectives without falling into cliche false representations.
