In Ik ben mijn straat, Mokhallad Rasem and Jessa Wildemeersch each return to the street on which they lived as a child.
House by house, they recall the occupants in their imagination, he from his street in Iraq, she from her street in Belgium. And what turns out to be the case? The stories of the residents are more often than not surprisingly similar. Jessa Wildemeersch and Mokhallad Rasem have worked together before, among other things with Long Days. Short Stories, Monde.com, Caligula, Djinny and Wachten.
In Ik ben mijn straat, Mokhallad and Jessa use words, images and memories to make a connection between their social environments in Iraq and Belgium. They end up with the present, with who they are now, with beauty and transience.
