Description
Summary:As part of the course “Illegal Design - Urban Walls” at the Faculty of Design and Arts of the Free University of Bozen, a group of students produced five short experimental videos exploring the urban landscape and the Bozen city walls. The aim was to understand the anthropological concept of the border or ‘limine’. More specifically, the students addressed the very sensitive issue of the balance between legal and illegal, permitted and illicit spaces, and how territorial and symbolic boundaries affect our perception of urban spaces but also of human behavior. They also explored how ideas and objects can be used to disobey, provoke and transform these boundaries, and our relationships, dynamic in themselves, with other people. Through this experience, the students became more aware of how a physical space – the wall, in this case – is not necessarily a limit, or an inert barrier that demarcates one space from another, but can be, instead, be experienced as a limine, or a transition, in fact, a creative opportunity to playfully and imaginatively experiment with a new way of inhabiting and using space.
