Everyone on this planet belongs to some kind of etnic, social or related group. There is a change however, that people from different kind of groups are related to each other by common ancestors. So some day you may be standing next to your 'brother' or 'sister' or some far relative without knowing it. The idea that anyone in this world is related to each other is the essence of this project.

In the installation we transform random individuals into members of a new found family by portraying them as in ancient times.
