BLURRING EDGES examines the topic of borders in an accessible and thought-provoking
series of short essays and photographs. Drawn from multidisciplinary
viewpoints, the essays and short "stories" span across a broad range of sub-themes
and practices from architecture to food, politics, power, race, and space.
The images, which accompany the essays, are a small selection of several hundred
photographs that were taken in a five-week period over two summers at border
crossings along the 1333 km long western border of Germany shared with its
neighbors France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and The Netherlands. The images attempt
to capture the "in-between" condition of European borders 10 years after the signing
of the Schengen Aquis, which regulated the elimination of internal European border
controls.
BLURRING EDGES is intended to illuminate borders in our everyday lives that are
often overseen and to provoke critical thinking and reflection for anyone interested
in the politics of buildings, landscape, and culture.
