Now I Live Here

About the installation
Young filmmaker Hannah Kersten has finally found (temporary) housing. She is proud to live in Crooswijk, the ‘real’ Rotterdam. But she notices that the neighbourhood is changing rapidly. Is she part of the problem? With Now I Live Here, Kersten offers a personal view on gentrification, eviction and displacement. The work consists of three parts: Arriving, Leaving, and To Stay. The absurdist installation consists of a video projected onto a dollhouse, followed by a light animation inside the dollhouse, accompanied by music by Willem Cramer.
