Can two women cross paths and yet never meet? Collapsing the boundaries between documentary and fiction, Wu Tsang presents "One Emerging from a Point of View". Α video installation and an Onassis Stegi international co-production that offers a different take on the phenomenon of migration. Set on the northeastern shore of Lesbos, Greece, the work revolves around a scenario in which two women cross paths three years ago – although they never met. A magical realist approach as she works in collaboration with her subjects to create a hybrid fantasy.

As part of the installation, photojournalist Eirini Vourloumis presents a highly personal photography project documenting the refugee crisis.

Sudden Rise by Wu Tsang

Wu Tsang and the Moved by the Motion ensemble use excerpted fragments from the text “Sudden Rise at a Given Tune” – written by Tsang, boychild, and Fred Moten – to create a performance that gives the impression of a living collage. Our civil rights of the 20th century meet the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix and the musings of Hannah Arendt.
