HOME IS A FOREIGN PLACE

The Swiss artist Sandra Knecht (born 1968 in Zurich, living and working in Buus/BL) has been exploring the concept of "Heimat" in her artistic practice for nearly ten years, examining it geographically, historically, sociologically, philosophically and culinarily. "Heimat" must constantly be renegotiated. It is difficult to define, as it is as individual as it is transient, constantly changing in (one's own) perception. Heimat can be tied to places, to people, but also to what we feel, think and eat, as well as to our thoughts and ideas.

With "Home Is a Foreign Place," the concept of Heimat is questioned as a construct.
