"My Great Grandfather"
 
Installation View, Kyunghee University Museum of Art, South Korea
Mockumentary.
Interview with myself and archival footage from the life of the danish composer
Carl Nielsen.
In the interview I address Carl Nielsen as my biological great-grand father,
the family stories I know about him, and how much I look like my great-grand mother
Anne Marie Brodersen, who also was an artist and a student of the Royal Danish Academy.
It is only my asian features that leaves the audience puzzled and confused.
Race = nationality?
In the video, I am writing the danish person of colour or minority into the danish cultural/
national history, and thereby indirectly question concepts of family and heritage.
