Lines
Through the use oflines both physical and metaphorical in my work, the academic exercise of“analyzing migration and emotions” became a reflexive process. The line as an(in)visible border in my work is a process that unnerves, motivates, excites,upsets, demoralizes and moves me in different ways. Therefore the line is ametaphor that reflects on my inability to “arrive” and the feeling that I amconstantly in front of a “line” or “walking on a thin line”. The line became aformative element that shaped my screen practice. Also, the negative space inmy photomontage and video work reflected this ambivalent relationship. It wasthe organic, soft material of my process in juxtaposition with the materialityof the topic and the tools that were used. The line was a semblance to thein-betweens in my practical work.
