MY IDENTITY IS THIS EXPANSE! is a virtual reality film and installation that tells you the story of a child who, resilient to despair, seeks relief through memories, imagination, and the strength of poetry. The journey is based on the true story of Yunus Yusuf, who was transported, confined in a wooden box, from Afghanistan to Luxembourg at the age of 13. It is also the story of millions of other refugee children and adults, both today and throughout history. Mahmoud Darwish’s poem, “If I Were Another”, taught to him by his mother, is both the child’s and the viewer’s entrance into this realm of relief and resilience.
