Here and There

The migrants’ crisis, which has been capturing world news since 2015, has revived my interest in outline and border concepts. I am questioning the notions of geographic and corporal territory (natural, cultural, constructed), the notions of border, limit and identity. I used the motif of human shadow. Our shadow stretches a space that we do not really occupy but that signals our presence.
