BORDERLINE FABRIKA
Borderline Fabrika is both a cultural space open to all and a place dedicated to the professional support of resident artists (performing and visual arts). They benefit from a space dedicated to research, creation, production and cultural diffusion, a place of exchange, open to the public.
This third place aims to consolidate the activities and economy of resident creators by promoting creation, openness and multilingualism.
PROJECTS IN WHICH I PARTICIPATE
FATA MORGANA
SARA MILLOT
In the streets and public squares of Irun, fictional documentary scenes appear in the windows of empty shops, where the inhabitants of the city walk. Short projected video sequences that put into practice a formal and narrative investigation, catch the attention of passersby as they move through the city.
Portraits, graphic narrations, documentary fragments, animated frescoes, archive images ... So many scenes and situations filmed in close collaboration with the inhabitants of the Bidasoa region that show us the faces and gestures of those who live in this cross-border territory, as well as their stories imaginary and real transposed into the three coexisting languages: Spanish, Basque and French. Anchored in the public space, this creation will also give rise to itinerant projections on the facades of the buildings of these three cities, as well as a micro-edition that documents the encounters that mark this project and the diversity of the stories told.

Video artist Sara Millot makes films and installations based on documentary elements that she stages and recomposes through experimental writing and editing processes. In recent years, her work has focused more specifically on public space and has involved the inhabitants or protagonists of a place. Furthermore, for this project, the Borderline Fabrika collective welcomes her in an artistic residency in Hendaye.

YOU KNOW ALL THESE PEOPLE
I have taken photographs of people from Spain and France, more specifically from the Basque border between the two countries and also from a multi-ethnic city in Romania, passers-by and others I know. They spoke Basque, Spanish, French, Romanian, Hungarian, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, German, English and more languages that I can't remember now.
I mixed them up, so it's practically impossible to know where they come from. And yet, when you look at these paper people, they look familiar even if you have never met them, even if you have never seen their faces.
A gesture may remind you of a schoolmate, a purple coat of an aunt you can't stand, an older man of the silent neighbour walking his dog in front of your house, a young woman in jeans, you get a sense of deja vu of the good (or the bad) that you can't really explain. They are all different from each other and at the same time similar. Remember that the next time you are invited to hate other people (whoever they are).
I thought of the toys that hang in children's cots: toys to banish boredom and fear of loneliness/darkness. Obviously, it is a symbolic representation for adults, a false talisman that cannot protect you from any nightmare or unadorned real life. These installations also refer to the mobile installations of Alexander Calder and Bruno Munari.

"New taxonomies do not guarantee a future for the threatened species; they only lay claim to some grasp on the present, which is made of the past, a history of relations and identities, constructed and contested." -
Donna Haraway, "When Species Meet" (2008)
Proposal for thinking and changing structure of seeing, naming and understanding present - in order of imagining and making space for other futures. Creating dialog with texts, images and impermanent human and other than human archive collected along the Bidasoa river, this happening will present research and work in progress in learning about internal and external borders and margins.
