Between Dresden and Prague, a dream, a nightmare, a project: 13 "zipper" cities, 15 cities involved, 3 nations, 23 artists, 43 , amongst which institutions, foundations and corporations. Plus schools, libraries, translators, radio stations... to draw furth paths, weavings. Because it is in the nature of the frontier to be endlessly on the move, subject to changes generated by the e The project is a network of collaborations, a sharing of thoughts, disciplines, human experiences, in order to perceive and the distance between characters.
During the month of July 2002 the artists had been descending the river Elba on Klondike boat, in a travelling tent of 5x8x3 conceived as a mobile site for meetings and gatherings, where similarities and differences mingle in different languages.
And more: lines and routes, borders, fluctuating frontiers that create a map, a different map.
Road map, scale 1:500.000. Clash of twisted and trembling lines: spider red, pepper yellow, chrysalis green, alfa sky-b 2008 orange.
Coordinates: Czech Republic, Germany, Elba river, State Road E55. Turning the map: "Letters and numbers beside the place the square on the map which localize the place": D3, D/E3, E/F4, F5,...
Numbers, letters, codes, routes, border lines.
Border = form: what gives shape to the interior and leaves the exterior out. It is the limit of a content, the limit between far away, between known and unknown.
Border = identity: necessary reference to measure what we perceive.
