A performative intervention into public space in the town of Hoorn, The Netherlands, Dutch in a Day explores notions of identity and place through language. Attempting to understand my surroundings, I placed sticky notes on objects to label them in the most common languages spoken in Hoorn: Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, Arabic and English. Ranging from labeling physical objects to more abstract notions, the aim is to highlight the multi-cultural aspect of the area as I try to understand the environment and communicate with local residents. Translations were made through the common Google Translate function, pointing to shortcomings in Internet translation tools in providing effective translations.
