The reason for such an undertaking is that we live in a moments of rupture that regulates the transformations of “demographic politics” and politicisation of life. The main idea behind this involves a concern for affairs that are brought to the attention to a bio-politics. We’re not talking only focusing here on the culturally specific conditions within shifting modalities, but towards far broader issues to emerge. To that extent, the emergence of this intersection reaches its debates around cross border dialogue, cultural intersections, crossings and/or networks which are profoundly rooted in a “disappearance” of subtle, ‘concrete’ boundaries.

By problematising the “transitory character” where different visions are converging and moving in defining and redefining the borders within new forms of articulation, the question we wish to raise is: what is this really referring to? What would happen when we encounter with a discursive space that produces a reality in which “there is no state in Europe”1 beyond its borders.

This exposes the imaginary geography and imaginary history which establishes a visual representation of the political and its subsequent intensification leads to the construction of a landscape by bringing together different modes of representation that are usually kept apart.

And this coming to presence is by no means a certain matter as the definition of ‘folded-in’ refers a condition of existence.
