From June 28 to July 27, 2008, the fortifications St. Jacob and St. Livinus in Zeeuws Vlaanderen (Staatsbosbeheer) form the backdrop of the art project
“Dijken van Wijven / Frontiers”
17 women investigate the impact that different facets of frontiers could present . . .
The relativity of borders... What is on the inside? What is outside?
The ultimate frontier crossing: the Spanish seed
Confined as opposed to open and unlimited spaces: as free as a bird
Guards with gates. Windows as weapon rests
Narrow circumstances lead on to narrow-mindedness
Natural and man made boundaries
Death and rebirth of the soldier
Man made and raised barriers
Means to put some beauty back into nature
A place where there are no laws
Something that lends itself to what could become a border
No man's land: the entrance to another dimension
The fortification of a fortress
The timelessness of time itself
Limits that you choose for yourself
Indicators show that culture can bridge borders
