The title 'Where I am now' is taken from the book of the same name by Jhumpa Lahiri. A quote from the book can be found on the wall of the reading room of Huis de Pinto, as a prelude to this project.

In the past weeks I have had six interesting conversations with volunteers who are deeply committed to this cultural literary center. Text fragments distilled from these talks will be added to the wall installation in the final phase. Starting point for these conversations is a question from the book: is there a place we are not passing through? This question intrigued me because the answer shows a vital connection between language, place and personal history.
