WALLS BETWEEN PEOPLE

from 24 september 2008 to 25 january 2009

The exhibition features photographs of eight walls of separation between human communities, taken by Alexandra Novosseloff and Frank Neisse between July 2005 and April 2007.

These eight walls, each illustrating a specific geopolitical divide, are brought together in a space organised in an original manner by artist Robert Ireland: Visitors discover the photographs whilst physically experiencing the presence of the walls.

Walls featured:
• The Demilitarised Zone between North and South Korea
• The Green Line that divides the island of Cyprus
• Peace Lines that separate the neighbourhoods of Belfast in Northern Ireland
• Berm, a wall of sand that crosses the western Sahara from north to south
• The Fence built between the United States and Mexico
• Protective Fencing around the Spanish enclaves of Melilla and Ceuta in Morocco
• Electrified Wall along the Control Line between Pakistan and India
• Security Fence between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank.
