We love the idea of a borderless world. According to Achille Mbembes argument in his lecture on Human Values at Yale University in March 2018, that “the power of the border lies in its capacity to regulate the multiple distributions of populations on the body of the earth, and in so doing, to affect the vital forces of all kinds of beings”[i] we are longing to break down the fences. In this sence it was our idea to remove all safety precautions in and around the exhibition place, to take away the barbed wire, the alarm system and the gates. As we are faced with the impossibility of achieving such a project we decided to challenge our selves by creating a space that emulates what we wanted to do with our original idea: A sculptural installation invites to travers once own threshold, hearing words about other individual Crossing-processes.
