Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance. - Yoko Ono

24th Parallel South, 2018archival pigment print, mounted on aluminumframed 145 x 185 x 5 cm (57.1 x 72.8 x 2.0 in.)
edition of 3 + 1 AP, ed. 2/3In his series "Human Territoriality" Swiss photographer Roger Eberhard (*1984) explores sites of past borders. In some cases the borders in question have shifted just a few hundred meters due to global warming or the alteration of landscapes, in others, entire empires on both sides of the border have since ceased to exist.
Borders are a means of separation. They create a barrier between two sides, a clear demarcation of here and there. Although built for eternity, there is no border in history that has not disappeared. There is a certain irony in the discrepancy between knowing that one's border will eventually change or even completely vanish and the large amount of pride and protectionism some individuals or entire nations demonstrate on their behalf.
