The artist Riccardo Matlakas will perfom Scratching Borders at Estudi Tur Costa. Scratching Border is the second performance which is part of "The No Border Series" which consists of three performances, including: "Melting Borders #1, Scratching Borders #2 and Fading Borders #3. "Scratching Borders" aims to scratch away patriotism and Nationalism. Culture, in its essence, is what matters and the unity of all cultures brings us to the core of what humanity means. Scratching Borders wants us to re-connect with the beauty of diversity and by scratching away all flags, there can be only inclusion. A boxer with sanding paper Gloves and a mosaic mask. He punches his mosaic masks, representing the deconstruction of political identity. When the mosaic is removed from the face, the boxer hits the flag, scratching finally "the Borders" between his real self and his constructed identity, imposed by the political society. What remains from each performance is the Scratched flag with the positive word emerged and the mosaic pieces. Attendance at the event will require reservation of a place.
