David Samuel Naeman Josef Kristoffersen

David Samuel Naeman Josef Kristoffersen., GL was born on March 7th 1946 in Papikatsuk, Nanortalik, Greenland. In the early 1950s he was sent to Denmark to be treated for suspected Calvé-Legg-Perthes syndrome, a childhood hip disorder. The dates and duration of David’s time in Denmark are the experiences and memories of a child recalled in adulthood, something respected throughout the exhibiton. Displaced is about events from David’s perspective, and it is David’s perception of time that is important – how he experienced being abducted and kept in Denmark for a very long time. His hospital case notes say: “The boy arrived alone to Denmark from Greenland.”
When David returned to Nanortalik in the mid-1950s he had lost much of his mother tongue.
