Situated on the Italian-Swiss border, the video ‘Border Love’ is an improvised action, consisting of a conversation instigated across ´no man´s land´ between Amir and an unknown Tunisian/Italian man.  The characters are speaking to each other from opposite sides of the border about peace, language, sex, music.  They cannot always understand each other. The dialogue is switching from identity and politics to more flirty behaviour and soon both parties are attempting to meet between the two fences for what seem to be shaping up as a ‘happy ending’ of a kiss…the video was made in collaboration with Irish Artist Treasa O’Brien.
