​
Identity is used as a term “used to characterize people ”.
​
The focus is on “which features in the self-image of the individual dignity
or from Groups are considered essential . "(Wikipedia)
​
Home is the “country or the place in which one was born and raised
or feels at home by staying at home all the time. "(Duden)
​
August Sander showed with the people of the 20th century
a "cross-section through the present day and our German people".
​
The work “Identity - Home” aims to depict a cross-section of the residents of North Rhine-Westphalia.
A snapshot of the people who currently live here.
​
None of the contributors live in their homeland -
because of need, existential constraints or because of professional and family situations.
​
My request to every person Bring five personal items on the subject of "Identity - Home".
I did not make any specifications.
​
I show internationality as something familiar,
and that our relationship with our homeland connects us all.
