Logline In this experimental work Kalkidan Hoex illustrates how she experiences her mixed identity. Born in Ethiopia and adopted to the Netherlands, living with the feeling of being in between two worlds; a third world emerges when the first two overlap. Her third world, a surrealistic place that conveys a culture that does not belong anywhere, serving as a safe space and coping mechanism for the mental fractures endured.
