In Europe, different cultures live very close geographically but often don’t know each other at all. We are Aliens to each other although we live only a few kilometres away, and too often we become trapped into holding on to prejudices and clichés.

War was a normal factor for many years between the different European communities: To fight against your neighbours is a long European tradition. Although today we have laid down our arms, former conflict is a fact that still influences us as a structural point of our history. The frontiers are open between our countries and we can now travel and live abroad with near absolute freedom, yet we still need to learn more about our former “enemies” and our different realities.

We understand Aliens as catalysers and information transmitters; the ones who travel abroad and spread new possibilities and ideas. Afterwards we try to fit them into their own spaces -- their city, their landscape, their homes. In these spaces we feel more able to recognise their own particularities and traditions; the subjectivity of every culture can be seen as an object in the space in which it takes place.
