Florian Braakman, Still from: Tony Haniffa, Sri Lanka - "One leg here, one leg there", 2022-2023, 4K photo film with stereo sound, Duration: 14:26

In Between Homes follows Florian Braakman as he accompanies immigrated neighbours from Delfshaven, Rotterdam, on journeys back to their countries of origin: Curaçao, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Surinam. Through photo-films sequences of photographs paired with sound the neighbours share memories of migration, revealing the shared experience of living between worlds, longing for home, and navigating cultural and socio-political landscapes.

Braakman meets his subjects spontaneously in markets, cafés, and streets ― and collaborates closely with them in the studio, discussing their representation and perspective. The project emphasizes that integration is not assimilation but a meeting of cultures, a reciprocal process of living together. In Between Homes makes visible the connections that bind communities across borders, showing that despite differences in background, we are part of each other's lives.
