Borderline Nature

Connection through separation. Much like the recreation of chemical or physical processes to enhance our understanding of certain phenomena, ‘Borderline Nature’ reconstructs artificially imposed boundaries between the human and non-human. It examines the act of border creation and the separation of oneself from the habitat in which we live.

First installed in St. Moritz, Switzerland, a town renowned for its luxury and exclusive clientele, ‘Borderline Nature’ creates a stark contrast between the opulence of human lifestyles and the harsh visuals of NATO barbed razor-wire. In a place known for exclusivity, this artificial stainless-steel, silver-coated border prompts contemplation on exclusiveness itself, alluding to the social and environmental costs associated with maintaining this exclusivity. It serves as a visual reference to conflicts driven by the consequences of the climate crisis and potential future conflicts.
