Border as Experience | 2011 - 2013
A limit is never static, precisely and mere. It is a pliable notion and continually alterable. A limit can be described as a point, an edge or a line over which something or one cannot proceed. Border as Experience is a series of video-performances that represent notions of the limit. Two performances have been realized so far: "Linenality" reflects the idea of the line as a limit, performed in Weimar, in the middle line of a two opposing direction central street. "12" reflects the idea of a point as a limit, performed in Baengnyeong island which is located near the sea border, Northern Limit Line (NLL), that separates North and South Korea. A third performance is planed to be realised in Mexico.
