Individual and Collective Experiences of Limits
Bans, Limits, Tabus, Borders
The Swiss Border Cantons shed light collectively on borders and limits from a social, psychological, cultural and ethnic perspective. The personal crossing of borders and the individual experience of limits, the collective social impacts of issues from domestic violence to human reproductive cloning are all subjects not easy presentable by conventional means. The highly interpretative presentation at the center of the pavilion and the revolving audio cabinets provide a view into these complex experiences of limits.
