Title:
Displacement
Sudden, barbaric
A volcanic eruption
which devoured all that I had ever known
The environment became painfully unfamiliar
The sun and moon seem altered
People became strangers
The precious daily routine disappeared
I am a stranger in my own homeland
But I am alive
They have been saying for the last 32 years
That we will return
Neither did I ever listen
nor believe them
No one cares quite enough
Not even myself
About IMCA
IMCA is both a virtual and itinerant Independent Museum of Contemporary Art founded by NeMe in order to present exhibitions, performances, new media events, symposia etc. The form of the IMCA is determined as a practice or process by the nature of each project with the notion of the exhibition "space" being constantly revised and redefined.
