OverviewBLURRING 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.
