I am positive you are negative
Film (25 min.)
They call it “positive” and “negative” / They say you can’t sleep / They say that everything feels unreal / As if you where floating / They say it makes you crazy / That it will kill you slowly / “Negative” means that your asylum case has been rejected / “Positive” means that you have got a residency in Denmark /
I met you as you are / As the person you are / We were worth the same / We were both human beings / But when I visited you / In the camp where you live / It got clear / That there is a difference / I am worth more than you / I have a Danish identity number / You are a numbered asylum seeker / I am positive / And you are negative
"I am positive you are negative" explores the floating state in between "positive" (residency) and "negative" (rejection). Voices of people that seek or have been seeking asylum in Denmark reflect on the feeling of floating and pose ideas of freedom of movement. The project is a result of a long term collaboration between Louise Vind Nielsen and refugees and migrants based in Copenhagen.
"I am positive you are negative" was commisioned by Danish Art Council in collaboration with DR Culture (Danish Broadcasting Corporation)
