The edge of the world, the place where the sun goes to rest. Although we no longer worry about falling off the edge of the world, borders still seem to constrain us. Christopher Columbus knew the Earth was round when he proposed to reach India by sailing west from Spain, despite the fact that Catholic theologians insisted the Earth was flat. In these films and videos, technological, aesthetic, spiritual and ethnographic boundaries are examined, explored and expanded. Remember the mantra of the Magic Eye poster? We must look beyond the image to experience worlds we never imagined to exist.
