Description

Borderline Visible begins as a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022 by two artist friends, one of whom must stop. As the other continues towards Turkey, suddenly alone, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I,’ present and past, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration, history and language. 

Ant Hampton’s careful, at times miraculous, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes, the Sephardic diaspora, tourism and forced movement, breakdowns and dementia, the end of the Ottoman Empire, swifts and swallows, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre. 

Ant Hamptom is co-director of the Time Based Editions series, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions, an audio track combines narration, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages.
