The music film work explores the innate inner dissonance of generational trauma in a documentary and performative treatment of the movement, elongation, and fragmentation of escape. Based on the Armenian Genocide and Danish humanitarian Karen Jeppe’s extensive work to rescue thousands of captured Armenian refugees, mainly women and children in the early 20th century, the horrors of the past are revealed in flashes. ‘Gone is Nowhere’ emphasizes how the complex and elongated nature of refuge, in the face of the cyclical dynamics of human experience, can never be confined to one time, but will continue to affect present and future generations.
