Understanding Others

Understanding Other(s) is a video-installation that invites the viewer to engage with the concept of ‘otherness’. Through an array of ‘Other’ characters, that are respectively monstrous, alien, deformed and modified, Julie Goslinga touches on a personal and current topic: how we encounter the societal Other. Whether they express themselves through alternative sexual- and gender-identity, eccentric physical presentation, or unconventional presence, these Others point out what a societal norm might be, and inherently challenge it.
