No Man's Land : Neimansland
02 March 2014
no man's land : neimansland
No Man’s Land : Neimansland is a collaborative international project which merges the seemingly congruent elements of site specificity and travel in terms of art.
A pair of identical floating concertina walkways are sited on opposing shores of waterways in Australia, Germany, Scotland and Holland. Initially installed in Sydney’s Darling Harbour, the floating walkways will travel to the Duisburg Ruhrort Ruhr district, the Clyde River in Glasgow and Buiksloterham IJ in Amsterdam, all the while accruing the memory of their different sitings and interactions.
The work refers to the impasse, the place no one dares traverse, the gap of fear and uncertainty between two sides of tentative safety –a memory, a metaphor inherited from the impossible stand off of World War 1 trench warfare.
Akin to the varied locations of No Man’s Land : Neimansland is the the multi-faceted nature of the artists and collaborators involved in it’s imagining and manifestation.
