In the international group exhibition My Third Land, Frankendael Foundation follows the Dutch poet Gerrit Komrij on his journey in search of the third land he once wrote about in his poem ‘Counterbalance’. The third land is a place that exists between the fatherland the poet left behind and his new world: an imaginary place created through the illusion of its inhabitant.
My Third Land aims to explore how we create a place and time to belong in a world that is constantly changing. Can we still imagine a place where we feel at home within contemporary society; in which people, power, culture and knowledge constantly evolve and change locations? This state of constant motion evokes our desire to discover and simultaneously fuels the need to find a place in which to feel at ‘home’.
