What does a border look like in space? How can we understand a geographic 3000 kms line?

The „Frontier Survey“ database offers 238 interactive sheets, describing in their own way the reality of unusual places, for they were located on a border that separated the elder EU-countries from the new ones in the heart of the continent until December 2007. Conducted during the summer of 2006, this gathering of information in the form of photographs, interviews, texts, diagrams and sound pick-ups builds up living evidence and status reports one year before the demolition of frontier infrastructures and the ending of controls following the entry of 9 new countries in the Schengen Area. Given their geographic location and their history, these places are at the heart of the stakes of the European expansion, and are therefore now living important changes.
