UND WIE HEISST DU? SMALL TALK ÜBER VORNAMEN

The artist Michikazu Matsune wants to get to know people in the region through a very personal approach: through their first names. In his open workshop, he asks people to share short episodes about their first names.

Why are you called what you are called? How do you experience your name? Over several years, Michikazu Matsune has collected these unspectacular-spectacular anecdotes in various cities around the world to create a collective portrait of a wide variety of personalities. Contribute your own name story to this growing archive! Even if your own first name doesn’t seem so unusual, you are very welcome!
