AS FAR AND CLOSE AS HERE is a tribute to togetherness, to adolescence and adulthood of the East and South East Asian Diaspora as it gently touches upon the meanings of identity and home. With our cast consisting of sisters, friends, strangers and lovers, we embrace different perspectives while shedding light onto the process of growth, solitude and the bond of collective experience. We hint at untold yet familiar stories, alienation and belonging, and the struggle and beauty of cultural ambiguity.

In an observational way, we capture mundane and intimate moments, nostalgia and lightheartedness as we think about childhood memories, far away places dear to our hearts, and how the cultural and personal has shaped us along the way.

Often overlooked or stepping into the background, AS FAR AND CLOSE AS HERE softly gives room to secluded generations of the Diaspora in the Western, specifically German context. This is a gentle reminder that we’re here, encouraged to share this journey of puzzling together lost and found pieces of our lives, from far away and close to us, into unique and unexpected versions of ourselves and our stories.
