Frederic Lezmi Beyond Borders takes us on a trip from Vienna to Beirut, searching for the border between Europe and the Orient. Going beyond the borders of traditional book making it has been designed as a 11-meter accordion fold-out, hand-folded and glued by the artist. Choosing this unusual format we want to enforce a reading process equivalent to the slow and sometimes uneasy transition between cultural symbols and values as one travels from West to East.
