Borderline was created as part of the artist’s diploma project at the HBLA for Artistic Design. The focus of her work was to explore how “space” without real dimension can be represented as an illusion.
To achieve this, a hand was animated frame by frame—each movement drawn individually. The finished animation, or rather the composition, is projected via mapping directly into a corner of the room. The hand appears alive, feels its way forward, touches walls, searches for a way into three-dimensionality—but fails time and again.
Spatial illusion plays with our perception. What looks like space is merely image, merely motion, merely light. The project poses a simple yet complex question: How much of what we see truly exists—and how much of it is created only in our minds?
