Remix Place on the France-Luxembourg Border

Over the last two years, I have been collaborating with geographers, a playwright, a sound artist, and other scholars on Remix Place, a project designed to explore and represent the experience of residents on the France-Luxembourg border. Conceived for the 2022 European Capital of Culture in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, our group has been busy interviewing residents, making art, and running the Agora Cafe, a temporary art installation and gathering place that pops up in public markets, social housing developments, and even traffic circles.

Now that the play has had its premiere and the Agora Cafe has completed its initial run, we are working on extending the project through publications and other events. In the meantime, you can see a small selection of my project photographs below. To see additional photographs, visit the Remix Place gallery on my main site.
