A Line to Cross, A Voice to Follow

A Line to Cross The Threshold

A site-specific performance activating a real GPS segment of 17 meters, corresponding to a border crossing I made on foot between Albania and Greece, at dawn on June 13, 2022.

A synthetic voice reads the exact coordinates of this path. At 2 minutes and 18 seconds, the voice speaks the exact location where I crossed the border. At that precise moment, I physically cross a red line traced on the ground.

The performance explores the tension between the body, the code, and time. It is not a line to follow. It is a line to cross — at the right time.

This performance is preceded by an introductory walk, a ritual of entry into the territory of Prespa: Prespa’s Butterflies.
