In the year 2000 there was a total of fifteen fortified border walls and fences between sovereign nations. Today, physical barriers at sixty-three borders divide nations across four continents. In this video of a lecture-performance, shot in the former studios of Radio Free Berlin, Lawrence Abu Hamdan reflects upon the permeability of these walls with three cases. Scientists developed a technology that enables to pierce through surfaces previously impossible for x-rays, with the help of the analysis of muons — invisible cosmic particles. Now no wall on earth is impermeable. Today, we’re all wall, and no wall at all.
