LIMES - VOYAGES DE FRONTIÈRE
EXHIBITION
Under the Roman Empire, the limes corresponded to both a fortified - natural or artificial - limit or pathway that leads to new territories to conquer. Today, if capital, goods and services move freely on a global scale, many people are bounded by boundaries shaped by historical, political, economical, or cultural matters. Limes - Voyages de frontière is a selection of videos from the collection of Argos in which we travel in order to understand how the dividing line between ici et ailleurs - here and there, home and abroad - is perceived, represented and questioned.
