Ondanueve String Quartet - Boundary Line (2013)

Borders, either made of bricks and cement or just symbolic are sometimes battlefields but they are also creative labs of the art of living together. They are also soils in which seeds of future forms of humanity are thrown and grow (consciously or not). "

Zygmunt Bauman, Polish philosopher and sociologist.

Mankind has always had the need to demarcate its territory, to feel safe in a non-infinite hence controllable space.
Through an immaterial curve that is the "border", mankind has found a way to trace neatly and visually territories, populations and therefore different cultures.

The new project "Boundary Line" starts from this premise, then turn it completely, where the border is no longer a dividing line, but rather a meeting point where it is possible to have communication between different cultures in a neutral territory.

In "Boundery Line" the border is the perfect place to merge the stimuli coming from everywhere without a filter, making them their own, internalizing and reviving them through a new life while respecting their origins and every time filling their particular world, which remains essentially familiar.

"Art is not to represent something new but to represent the same thing with originality" - Ugo Foscolo
