Telepuppet.tv, 2014

Telepuppet.tv sends puppets across borders to capture, catalogue, and connect experiences of trans-national migration and immigration across time and space on our planet.

This project tries to break the borders for immigrant communities. It aims to present migrants’ views of their home (the things they felt were missing, or were proud of) to European citizens and begin a dialogue on the state of, and reasons for, immigration between Europe and the rest of the world.

TMPV embeds tiny cameras in puppets which then travel to the homelands of their owners, collecting content and streaming stories through live projections and video feeds.
