What do we have under control? How much control are we prepared to relinquish? What are our freedoms made of and are we prepared to give them up? Surveillance is no longer controlled by a clearly defined apparatus but become part of us. Thanks to smart phones and laptops we
What are our Borders? What kind of stories rest in our corners? Which boundaries do they reveal, and what do they confront? Balancing between the inside and outside, blurring the boundaries between performance and reality. Borders mark the limits of different areas, perceptions, bodies. Who defines the difference upon which
