Cultural differences often lead to many misunderstandings. The installation deals with mixed cultural – misunderstanding phenomena and multiple-realities interpretations, opening a new world of contrasts and alternatives. In the boxes are videos with multiple meanings which could be easily (mis)interpreted differently based on different cultural backgrounds. Visitors are challenged to guess the meanings. If they are wrong, the installation responds with – You Don’t Know Me
