CAST
Andrea Luka Zimmerman
Zimmerman draws from their substantial personal archive to reflect on a precarious early life in Munich, a challenging adolescence, and ultimately their current life in London. From decaying videos to hazy projections and emotive photographs, they’ve created a powerful document that challenges normative ideas of family, including estrangement.
