The N. N. Motherland Art Project is a plea to travel through time. N.N. stands for Nomen Nescio, the Latin expression that emerges in genealogical research and literally means "I don't know the name" or “name unknown". It leads to a dead end, because the person's origins cannot be determined. In another context N/N is referring to "Nature versus Nurture", an equally unanswered question of what is innate and what is learned from the environment. I take both concepts with me on my journey.
