Stupid Borders is an array of works and actions in which the spectator is invited to reflect on the relationship between people and land, and to restudy our intense sense of ownership towards the Earth, an entity which transcends us in terms of age.

Under the title “Stupid Borders”, the artist sets a three-steps simple exercise: take possession of 100 m², draw a boundary and live in it. The results are one-day microstates inhabited by just one person. Nonsensical borders which expose the ephemeral, artificial and transitional nature of these conventions failing which coexistence is impossible for us.
