’Border’ is projected life-size and opens with the image of a number of people sitting down in an oppressively small, square space. We can hear them whispering, sighing, coughing. Then a life-size x-ray image slowly appears over the total surrounding of this environment, the image of a truck crammed with goods. The video work is directly linked to the actual problems of human trade and her countless victims.
