What is Your Current Address 

A durational performance at Kunstenbanken, Hammar, Norway September 2005

A site specific interactive installation, video and a performance. On entering the space a ‘Welcome Home’ sign in Norwegian is misspelled. There are party decorations on the wall and on the floor. Ashery, dressed as a Norwegian postman, wrote names of Palestinian villages and towns that were destroyed and had ‘disappeared’ during 1947-9 Nakba and replaced with the names of Israeli villages and towns that have been built on top. Visitors were invited to take part in a number of interactions including Retuning, where a participant with a blindfold draw their childhood bedroom from memory and engage in discussion with the people around.
