BorderLine
BorderLine
- Site-specific cases
Borders and barriers are human constructs that separate and divide. From a line in the sand, or on the map, borders across the World are increasingly getting demarcated as thick boundaries against human infiltration, turning little by little into blunt walls of separation.
BorderLine installation offered an outdoor intervention that's concerned with this notion of a free standing wall and its role in marking an ambiguous inside-out condition. By creating an antithesis to a physical form of isolation and separation, the work imagined an alternative reality for an element charged with such negative notions. Formed around a wall that breaks down into its modular segments; the installation aimed at turning the wall into an equitable meeting edge and a zone for free movement in the public domain. The permeable wall allowed for interaction between different circles of the community in the hope that these moments of random encounters could punch holes in people’s social and cultural walls.
