In her photo and video installation "You Go Where You're Sent" Laura Horelli outlines important moments in the life of her grandmother, born in 1916, who talks about her experiences as a diplomat's wife working as a physician at the same time. Horelli uses black-and-white as well as color documentary photographs and sequences from a conversation of the artist and her grandmother. "You Go Where You're Sent" is a portrait of historical interest, it traces the life of a woman living on the interface of the public and private spheres, seeking to reconcile her various roles and expectations about her. more culture>>>
