Description: In the fall of 2006 Atousa Bandeh Ghiasabadi posed a question to a group of artists and writers: what is the meaning of context for an artist or an artwork? What is the impact of shifting and transformation through different contexts? What is the artistic significance of misunderstandings that come into existence due to such shifting and transforming processes? Atousa asked her questions to five different people: Sara Blokland (visual artist), Katrin Korfmann (visual artist), Bassam Chekhes (filmmaker), Nickel van Duijvenboden (writer), and Tina Rahimy (political-philosopher). However, by posing these questions she did not want the certainty of an answer, her primary focus was rather the different forms of experiencing these questions. So in the end there was a common ground: the 'difference' was this commonality.
