Recast brings together an artist as fashion designer, a Punk band, an actor as director and the founder of the Icelandic Walther von Goethe Institute. From their personal experiences of being the odd one out, the included or the excluded, their work breaks up clichés and reductive institutional definitions of identity. ‚Authentic’ material such as the uniforms of Tito’s socialist modernity, passport photographs of former West-Berlin photo-booths, a classic British murder-mystery and a Grimm fairytale is questioned and rearticulated. In a humorous way the multiplicity and shifting nature of identity is revealed.
