I created Grenzland in reaction to the European border closures beginning in the spring of 2020 (caused by the COVID-19 pandemic). The fictitious game allows viewers to place all the internal continental borders of the European Union – at least as long as they can remember where they belonged; the toy-like tin borders of the game are not labelled. It was probably thought that they were no longer needed – a sad mistake.
The project was made possible by the “Kunst in Zeiten von Corona” project funding from the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
