HD & 4K Video, four-channel projection, 15 min
Experiences on the verge and the verge of experience.
Think of a border, a boundary or an edge
and you are thinking about the verge
the point where something begins or ends.
The line where life and death meet; the moments in between, when physical and mental limits need to be crossed in order to survive. It shows the challenge to remain standing, to keep on breathing and to keep on moving — no matter what.
Being on the verge includes an extreme situation paired with exhaustion and endurance, partially verging on a release. During this release a rare purity is revealed which allows a leap beyond the known to constantly redefine ourselves.
