Hei Maei #my_كل_شي

Borghildur Indriðadóttir’s ends “Terminal TXL” with “Hei Maei #my_كل_شي”. The filmic installation, “Hei Maei” is a word play. “Heimaey” in Icelandic means “home island”. By splitting the word and changing the y to an i, “Hei Maei” means greeting (“hei”) and “home not home”. #my_كل_شي is a hashtag appropriated from the Lebanese pop musician Haifa Magic. The one-minute film is about the unknown intelligence of the ocean and questions identity and multiplicity. The soundscape is composed by Bane Jovančević and Borghildur Indriðadóttir. For the opening women stylized both in niqāb-khimars and in latex and fishnet stockings will perform within an airport setting.
