While Virtual Reality promises a whole world, in fact it offers only a view within the strictly defined boundaries of a sphere. Is this also the case for the strictly defined boundaries of the European Union? When crossing the borders of the European Union, one is not allowed to film. This also applies to Google and their Street View cars, resulting in gaps in the available Street View coverage within the area of EU border control posts. The Euro dome is increasingly made more visible and intimidating from the outside: high fences with barbed wire stand tall along the border and armed border patrols pass by on a regular basis. While from inside the dome, one can only see a virtual glimpse of its borders. A faint reflection or a delayed feedback version.

In his picture, this Polish artist working in Singapore blurs the boundaries between what seems certain and what is labile. Reality cannot be captured.
