Migration and border infrastructures
2014 – 2015
This research investigated the material and visual cultures of contemporary border regimes, with particular attention to the infrastructures that regulate mobility across Europe. Combining field research, photography and critical spatial analysis, it examined borders as constructed environments rather than fixed political lines. The research informed installations, printed interventions and later reflections on the material legacy of the European border regime.
