Résumé
Unfinished Journeys" shows us that Heimweh (homesickness) and Fernweh (the longing for distant places) are not in fact two diametrically opposed emotions but two sides of the same problem. Their main common denominator is the notion of longing to find oneself. Robert Smithson's return to his home town Passaic is a voyage of discovery no less restless than Isaac Julien's journey to China, Marine Hugonnier's traveling on the unfinished road of the Trans-Amazonian Highway, Åsdam's abysmal odyssey around East London's construction site for the new Olympic Arena, or Rosa Barba's expedition to a "real-and-imagined" moving island in the Baltic Sea - to name just a few. It is the quest to know ourselves in the world that drives us out to foreign countries and back home again.0Exhibition: Nasjonalmuseet for Kunst, Arkitektur og Design, Oslo, Norway. 0(16.3.-20.5.2012).
