FRINGE; BEYOND LIMITS AND BORDERS, DISCOVERING THE ALTERNATIVE.

In Latin, the verb "fringere" means to break in order to break outwards. When we are inside something that surrounds us, to open it outwards, to create a crack through which light can enter. To go outward, into the open air, towards the other. Creating an act of going outwards, and in doing so allowing the outside to come in. Breaking the circle, jumping over the barriers.
