21_06_2000 :
a transborderline between Italy and Slovenia

During the opening of Manifesta 3 Stalker is exploring the border between Italy and Slovenia through the installation of a piece of the Transborderline tube. The day is dedicated to the search for a spot on the border that we can stretch into a new space. This site is then dedicated not just to illegal crossings, but it will be come a symbolic place for encounters, relaxing and exchanges among anybody willing to inhabit it. The action started in the Campo Boario in Rome, a former slaughterhouse whidh today is an abandoned space where nomads, gypsies and immigrants live. The Transborderline spiral has been built and opened to all the searchers who want to experiment with it's various uses to create a meeting place among the differnet cultures in the area. Pieces of the Transborderline have also been built in Villa Medici in Rome (La ville, le jardin, la memoire), in Venice (VII Biennale di Architectura) and Ljubljana (Manifesta 3) to establish a connection from west to east. .
