The exhibition reflects on the ways in which the story of European heritage is told. These stories are deeply intertwined in the representations we meet in (art) history, in museums as well as in architecture and archaeology. In other words, the historical foundation and the monumental experience through which we perceive collectivity. The Exhibition reflects on this through a personal connection to two places, Greece and Denmark. Athens and Copenhagen. Through two generations, in this case father and daughter, the exhibition reflects on how lived experience, the telling, speaking and translation of it, can find a place in relation to, or in spite of, these perceived collectivities.
