Sewing the borderline II
Realization: 10 August 2011 at 18:00
Location: Along the borderline within the Venetian walls at the South part of Nicosia, direction:
from west to east.
Duration: 2 hours
Description of action:
I am sewing the dividing line
with a red thread on my left palm while walking along the Green Line.
The action of sewing creates a
displacement of the Green Line while using the body’s skin to create a
topographical map. A mapping of the Green Line is formed on my palm as a
document of the action and the border. The thread remained in my skin for three
days. The sensation of the thread inside the skin was giving a slight whiff of
remembrance of the sewing action, and the route that I walked during the
action.
