Full Description

Disoriented Frontiers was realised for the First International Festival of Ubran Multimedia Art (CICV. Belfort).

It's a work about the town of Belfort, the frontiers, the foreigners and the tzigans nomadism.

Two edges: this country and this other country, this riven and this other riven, this individual and this other individual. Two edges as dialectical reasoning of which we do not arrive extricate. Trace borders, Draw conflicts and oppositions, reconciliations, think of the other with love, with hate. Imagine a separation which would be at the same time a fusion, a vacuum which would be also full. Forget this vulgarity of the desire.

Third rivens: a u-topian space to experiment other desires, other possibles: this country like border, these two rivens of a river which is itself a riven, two individuals and others that we do not know, do not know any more. Welcome the absence rather than to exorcise it.

Third rivens: a riven which haunts all the borders.

Third rivens: three topics will be approached: the city like border, the river like temporality, the inhabitants like memory. The cybernauts can send documents (texts, picture, sounds). They "will fill" and generate new gaps in the fiction which will evolve in an unpredictable and organic way.

"The intruder is introduced by force, by surprised or trick, in any case without right, without to have been initially allowed.

One needs that there is of the intruder in the foreigner, without what it loses its strangeness.

If it has already import duty and of stay, if it is awaited and received without nothing him remaining out of waiting nor out of greeting, he is not any more the intruder, but he is not any more, either, the foreigner.

Therefore is it neither logically admissible, nor ethically acceptable, to exclude any intrusion in the arrival from abroad."

Jean-Luc Nancy in La Venue de l'Etranger
