SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN part I 



As part of the Somewhere Inbetween, I am reflecting and questioning how and why to exhibit ethnographically —the anthropological method on which some of my research is based. I am interested in stressing the boundaries between artistic practices and ethnography, going beyond the mere duality, and reflecting on the possibility of transdisciplinarity and other methodological ways for the research design within the arts and social sciences.


The exhibition was held from June 30th to July 23rd 2022 at LITE HAUS Gallery, Berlin. Afterwards a further elaboration of this exhibition was shown at Chilean Conexión Art festival, Monopol Gallery Berlin. September 1-3, 2022.

The exhibition Somewhere Inbetween was part of my PhD research on border regimes in Europe and South America, especially Italy, France, and Chile. I reflect on three informal and self-managed camps, which have been resistant and resilient in the face of the current border regimes, transforming abandoned areas into sociable places.
