• Resumen

  • How is the topic of borders addressed from my/our privileged status as European petit bourgeois? The experience recalled in this paper takes me back to Palestine, where last October I co-curated a multidisciplinary project with activities on both sides of the Wall: East Jerusalem and Ramallah. I must depart from this experience if I want to convey the actual meaning of «border» and what its experience entails in terms of artistic and performance practice. On what side of the border does barbarism lie? What is the difference between identitarian border and colonial border? What is the relationship between transcendental thought and border wall? These questions will help me focus on the metaphorical construction of «border», on the skin as the body’s border, on the definition of «inside» and «outside», «us» and «others», on the status of the artist on the borders and on the «clown» as border’s artist.
