Borderline Visible brings a photobook to life in a performance that fuses soundscape and narration. A 77-minute experience, scored with music by Oren Ambarchi and Perila, pieces together value and meaning from the human ruins of aspiration, history, and language, shifting back and forth along a journeyed path between Lausanne, Switzerland, and Izmir, Turkey. 

Time Based Editions’ ingenious new format offers ‘audio-visual’ as two separate elements, held together in the present through a physical synchronization of our hands. Together we dive into a here-and-now of the page: printed photography brought to life by a soundscape that both guides and surrounds us. Ant Hampton’s careful, at times miraculous process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation of voices and earthquakes, Sephardic diasporas, and forced relocation, as we journey along this eastern edge of Europe.

Each ticket includes a copy of the book Borderline Visible.
