The year 1989 is a symbol of falling walls and the removal of clear-cut divisions between East and West. In the aftermath, ideological borders disappeared and the hope for freedom grew. Now, 30 years later, we are again building walls and mental barriers between us.
We brought stories from our families, community, region or country, where they recognised that old or new borders exist. We examined where people do not understand the other side. Together, we got to the roots of new political, social and internal frontiers while these stories that touch on the issues that divide us served as the basis. Can we understand where prejudices and fears come from? How can we talk to each other about dividing issues? Do we have to pick a side? Do we have to draw lines?
The process of dealing with these questions turned into two video installations: We created a dramatic script and turnt it into a film, we cut videos and added effects. In our multimedia installations, we crossed borders and genres.
