‘The Road to School’ concerns itself with one question; how do we belong to the world around us?

In 5 different video’s, we explore a cold and uncanny 3D landscape, built out of fragmented Google Maps data. Each landscape depicts the personal road to high school taken by the participant, frozen in time as digital matter. Along this road, each participant narrates their
coming-of-age in the Netherlands, and discusses a wide arrange of topics, such as right-wing populism, racism and sexism. But as different as all stories are to each other, they find their commonalities in a common sense of alienation and a wish for community.
