Grossraum [Borders of Europe], 2005

35 min 



The films explore the landscape’s composition along the current borders of Europe. A silent camera travels along a heavily guarded border, where even photography is forbidden without permission. Hrebenne was shot in a small town on the border of Poland and the Ukraine, Lefkosia from within UN controlled territory on the border between south Cyprus and the Turkish occupied North and Ceuta is the Spanish enclave on the African mainland. In 2005, Lonnie van Brummelen was awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome for Lefkosia.
