border rescue

2002

Social Impact (AT)

Migration pressure is rising, and the EU is reacting with more rigorous control of its external borders. A subversive answer to the exclusion of various industrial regions of the world, border rescue finds hiding places in Fortress Europe. The project defines itself not only as a form of actionist protest against the EU’s rigid immigration policy but also as a strategy to get around the oversimplified explanatory patterns of political policymakers. The methods used by border rescue are meant to set an example; their adaptation and continuation by others is expressly encouraged.
