'In the Planet Where We Met' unites the practices of two internationally exhibiting artists from Peru and Lebanon. It consists of a series of collaborative video performances filmed shortly after Ingrid Pumayalla and Mazen Khaddaj got to know each other in Germany.

The series highlights their process of familiarization with each other. Through shared, unscripted, live interactions, the exploration and cooperation of their commonalities and differences unfold to reveal the capacity of humans to trust.

Their ongoing collaboration intends to poetically address immigration, cultural issues, and emotions close to them individually as well as pressing issues in our society. The series continually develops as the artists will record new performances in every place that the multi-channel installation 'In the Planet Where We Met' is exhibited.
