“Borderline”
Wiebke Brix
22 June → 14 July 2007

Wiebke Brix’s Borderline represents an emotional place that emblematises a view of ‘home’ that is fabricated by memory and nostalgia.

Intercontinental travel, migration and the unlimited exchange of information has changed the idea of place and belonging often called ‘home’ from a spatially-bound place to a place that is defined by flux and change.

The decline of family and social structures seems to go hand in hand with enormous advances in transport and communications. These changes, while liberating on one account, are bound to issues of identity and displacement.
