Borderline, the Frontiers of Peace strives to show the results of a historical change that has taken place over the last decades in Europe.
Since the signature of the Schengen Agreements in 1985, the borders of most of the European continent have been erased little by little from the landscapes and people’s imaginations. These Agreements are a giant leap in the progressive unification of Europe and the emergence of a European conscience.
Today, with 26 countries belonging to the Schengen Area, 16,500 km of borders can be freely crossed. The attribution of the Nobel Peace Prize to Europe in 2012 has confirmed the historical importance of this slow, almost imperceptible, but radical change.
With the help of a GPS and detailed maps, I have conducted many trips along these "erased" borderlines, with the intention of capturing the essence of these now-peaceful crossings.
Even if sometimes these pictures have been taken thousands of km away from each other, they all provide images that are far from the stereotype

that we tend to associate with the notion of border. What is a border anyway?
