This is the museum that my friend show me when I in Paris, the architecture itself is quiet enough for visiting. When we visited, there was a temporary exhibition about Irene Nemirovsky.
“Born in 1903, Irene Nemirovsky was fifteen when the revolutionary troubles drove her family from Russia. It was in Paris at the age of eighteen that she published her first stories. In 1929, a ruthless and controversial novel, immediately brought to the screen, made her reputation: David Golder. A dozen novels followed, dictated by family inheritance, the memory of being Russian, the strangeness of being Jewish, the feeling of being French, the anguish of being stateless, then by the obligation of making a living despite the laws of Vichy.”
This quotation becomes a reflection of ourselves, studying abroad is the process of being nowhere, struggle of learning language, facing the tutors and participants whom talking in different language and come from different background, fitting in different system of government and living in 20 hours flight time from Taiwan. Furthermore, in design work, talking in English to discuss the project in Morocco with Korean or discussing Buenos Aires project with my American partner and Argentinian tutor in the Netherlands.
Irene Nemirovsky feel she is a stranger because the era was 100 years ago but she said “stranger” means she still can feel herself. We shouldn’t feel strange in this kind of condition cause we are training for suit this flat world and globalization when we are young but the difference is we can’t feel ourselves, we are nowhere.
The trailer is from “The lost boys” and the theme song is “People are stranger” by The Doors. There is a famous quotation in this film which is…
Sleep all day
Party all night
Never grow old
Never die
It's fun to be a vampire.
