A backhoe dismantles a border crossing. While the beams bend in the image, off screen an exchange of thoughts about the supposed freedom of movement in the Schengen era unfolds: Whether lines of demarcation still persevere, and to what extent after the demolition of their architectural manifestations. A subtle investigation of fact and emotion in documentary border lands. (catalogue Diagonale 2015)
