Borders: shaping place and movement is an artist's experimental video and short film showreel dedicated to exploring the nature of borders and their impact on society, culture, and the human experience.

Borders have long been a focal point of human interaction, shaping the course of history and influencing the distribution of culture. From shifting geopolitical borders to the more abstract boundaries that delineate groups of people, works in this showreel investigate how these lines of demarcation often act as both barriers and bridges, separating and connecting individuals and communities. While many people feel a connection to the land and its history, nature itself is wholly indifferent to the shifting territorial boundaries drawn across its surface: borders and their associated politics, policies, and power structures are purely in the realm of human activity.

The works presented in this showreel explore these cultural and geopolitical boundaries, the land upon which they are drawn, and the profound impact they can have on the opportunities and experiences of individuals and communities.
