Border as interface Border as interface

Director: Petra Szemán

Year: 2024

A moving image artwork exploring zones of momentary overlap between seemingly opposing elements. The "interface" concept here is fluid and multifaceted; an interface, whether in software, digital screens, or one’s language or body, is a site of entanglement and movement. How the interface manifests and the supposed borders it enacts are recalibrated with every connection that is made. It’s a place of transience with its own set of rules and oscillating perspectives that only make sense within the shifting internal logic of the borderlands. ​The work explores how these dynamic zones can reshape entrenched perspectives. It questions "where images end and bodies begin, where truth or the real might reside,"[*] and where the boundary between spectator and screen dissolves into “life.” Such interfaces function as special conduits to the virtual, positioning the body as a node of mediation in our techno-political landscape. They also reveal what is created or lost in cross-cultural interactions; miscalculations, strange pairings and redundancy live within the hybridity zones of Border and Interface. *From Deborah Levitt’s ‘The Animatic Apparatus’.
