Identity!? Program
BA Major Design Semester
2022 Winter Something profound happens when astronauts see Earth from space for the first time. Seeing planet Earth from space can cause a shift in awareness, according to astronauts. This state of mental clarity is known as the “overview effect,” in which the viewer becomes overwhelmed and awed by the size of Earth.
Inspired by the overview effect, this 2-minute film shows the human identity on fragile earth.

Identity!?
Identity!? The concept of identity is complex. Individuals, social minorities or majorities, but also larger organizations such as states claim the legitimacy of ‹their› valid identity. All over the world we can observe how the term is instrumentalized to enforce political interests of exclusion or homogenization.
