The word globalization has become a common term in our vocabulary. But what does the globalized world really look like? The impression of a growing borderless, united world is at odds with the reality of it. This film essay explores shifting national identities in the globalizing world and questions increasingly porous binaries such as urban/rural, local/transnational, as well as new media, communication technologies, virtual worlds, non-places and daily life. Created in collaboration with Assunta Alegiani during the one-month artist residency Traidhos in Chiang Mai (Thailand) in 2015.
