Words shape our impressions and form our history. In ‘Scene Shifts, in six movements’ a journey through historical layers of various locations on several continents unfolds. However, it is primarily an intellectual journey. The locations, images, texts and music hold references to a long history of cross-cultural misinterpretations.
