Frontiers of Peace
“What is the heart of peace? A border. When two neighboring peoples make peace, they fix, first of all, the border between them.”-Uri Avnery
Europe's internal borders have radically transformed over the past century. Enemy lines from two world wars have become places of leisure and reflection. From a field of grain in Portugal-Spain to a beach boardwalk in Germany-Poland to a former Iron Curtain forest in Austria-Czech Republic, a resounding peace can be heard.
Date of project: 2007-present
Location: along the European Union's 19,500 kilometers of internal borders
