[The Wall Paradox ] 
2024

The Wall Paradox is a research project on the symbolism of walls in today’s Europe. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the European Union has erected more than 2,000 km of new barriers along its external and internal borders. Sometimes presented as a symbol of freedom and unity, other times as a show of action and strength, the motivations and narratives behind border walls need to be questioned, prompting a broader rethinking of the concept of the nation-state.
