What is life like when self-determination is your greatest asset, when the present looms so large that past and future become secondary?
The largest minority in Europe are Sinti and Roma. Although they have shaped European culture for centuries, there is little knowledge about them and their history. Racist stereotypes inform perceptions and determine policies towards this minority.
Amie Barouh (b. 1993) creates equally gentle and brutal, poetic and realistic depictions of the different realities of Roma life in Paris in her films. Places that are overlooked and are therefore rendered invisible are brought to the fore as living spaces. At the same time, Barouh’s films are a deeply personal endeavor. She chronicles her own relationships, her hopes, her feelings, her love and care, her fears and dreams, how she encounters other people, how she lets them into her life.
Entre-Sorts is Amie Barouh’s first institutional solo exhibition worldwide.
