фотографируем бывшие пропускные пункты на границах внутри ЕС
Разговорились с Сашей Рудаковым вечером про границы и любовь к ним фотографов. Пять минут гугла и два проекта, посвященных пропускным пунктам на бывших границах внутри Европейского Союза, на экране. Любопытный способ срастить две довольно популярные темы европейской фотографии - внимание к архитектуре (такое пост-бехеровское у одного из авторов, ученик всё-таки) и проблематику географических/национальных границ. Манипуляция с изображением как способ достижения стилистического единообразия и внесения некоторого дополнительного сугубо авторского смыслового элемента.
Ignacio Evangelista - After Schengen: European Borders
"The "After Schengen" project shows old border crossing points between
different states in the European Union. After the Schengen agreement, most of these old checkpoints remain abandoned and out of service, allowing us to gaze into the past from the present. It causes many reflections, specially in a moment that EU project it is severely discussed.
These places that previously the Schengen treaty, delimited territories and in which the traveler had to stop and show his documents, currently appear as abandoned places, located in a space-time limbo, out of use and out of the time for which they were designed, as these states have opened their borders to the free movement of people.
Border crossings have a function of geographical boundaries, but also an coercitive role, since they prevent the free passage of people between one and another state. So, they are places that, along with a cartographic dimension, are provided with historical, economic and political reminiscences.
These old border crossing points are slowly disappearing; some are renovated and reconverted to new uses, some are destroyed for vandals, and some other just fall down due to the passing of time. So, after some few years there will be no possibility to look at this strong signs and symbols of the recent european history."

"Named Übergang after the German word for crossing, the series of images depicts transnational borders that have become redundant. Each shot has also been digitally manipulated so that the surroundings of each structure appear to have been shrouded in fog." (и дальше рассуждения отсюда)
