"Geofencing" is an almost invisible installation. Clear nylon wires emerge from the England flag (Saint Georges cross) creating an impenetrable space.
The flag of England is associated, in the context of the United Kingdom, with the right-wing currents linked to nationalism and racism. This work generates a symbolic space in which the geopolitical boundaries that this national emblem represents are visible. Geofencing, metaphorically replicates in space what happens with identity symbols, while creating communion, generate exclusion for those who are not part of them. They create impenetrable territories of which their limits, although intangible, are access barriers linking.
