beat around the border

(2026, performance; crawling home, salzburg, austria)

spanning over five hours, the durational performance unfolded as an accumulation of gestures, presence, and traces. "an observation of an emotional state shaped into a durational performance, an ode to the feeling of not quite belonging, while sensing that there is, in fact, very little that separates “you” from “them”. yet the long, segregated lines at borders, the waiting, visa fees, extra security checks and too many “ifs” and “buts”, seem to tell a different story."
