Haltestelle

This is a virtual exhibition group against asian hate. There are 4 artists, who all have asian backgrounds: China, Thailand, and Japan. Using the VR platform „Mozila Hubs“ we show four different spaces.

My work deals with my own contact with racism, taking this theme and transforming the bad memories from the past into an art form and built into the virtual space.

One day I was at the Haltestelle and waiting for a tram. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of me and asked for spare change. I couldn’t say anything, because I was surprised at the sudden thing. Additionally, he was big and very loud. That made me scared. He got mad, because I didn’t react to him and started abusing me. One of the sentence that i understood was, “Scheisse Asiaten, geh nach deine Heimat!!!” Then he made slant eyes pose and disappeared. Two weeks later from that day, I saw him again in a tram. He found me and started abusing me again. At that time, I was not alone. There were many passengers. But no one helped me. One of them was laughing at that situation.
