Item description from seller

Beautiful color photography about border zones. This is a story about borderwork, about the way that borders appear, disappear and reappear, perhaps somewhere else, in the course of everyday life. It is about what makes a place feel borderly , as if there is something in the air, the streets, the walls, the parks, perhaps even in the people hanging around a place, that gives off a sense of borders at work. It is a story that picks out small fragments of that constant activity, which sometimes, perhaps often in some places, feels like nothing is going on at all - the sense that waiting and stillness, and the dull thud of imperceptible decline and decay that comes from abandonment is all that there is, is all that is left. It is a story about senses of danger as well, the smell of fear that often circulates around crossing points - will I pass? - and the hard, sometimes brutal stare of authority as it carries out its checks, classifications, inspections, assessments. This is a journey through the places inhabited by people who sometimes uncomfortably share each other's spaces, interfere with one another, who cross paths and zones and lines and fences and walls. It is a story about small and large exchanges, transactions, trades, legal and illegal, both in places where the ragged people go and in the limelight, where everyone is looking. Was it a good deal? It is a story about roads, routes and restrictions, of life and the taking care of the afterlife, of the signs and messages scribbled everywhere - by governments, by passers-by, by the activists and pessimists and optimists. It is a story about personal and impersonal journeys, of the attempt to get somewhere, even if that is only away from somewhere else. 157 pp.
