"In this project the viewer encounters, taped onto floors, streets and around corners, There is no Border Here, There is No Border Here There is No Border Here - stretched onto the perimeter of a building wall, through fences that guard it, across a street wall, and around trees lining the road side. These are markings reclaiming and underlining the amorphousness of urban living zones, now increasingly being segregated.

Everyday, thousands of people converge into hybrid mobile environments harvested around centres of transactions of economics: cities. They carry with them memories of their unique social histories, which spill from homes and into streets. And when we look up into the sky, we see a crisscross of high speed cables transmitting an audiovisual explosion of even further remote (often hegemonic) cultures. Instead of celebrating and wisely negotiating with such convergences, borders are constantly being drawn and redrawn and conflicts harvested, often to the benefit of a dominant few. There has been a sudden rise of a regressive attitude of the democratically elected States, which find it easier to define themselves by defining others as outsiders - as aliens, and by playing politics of difference and hate, they now have had the audacity to rage wars and sponsor genocides!"
