Henk Puts - Border Crossings
Border Crossings

On these pages you can find detailed records of all times I crossed national borders in my life. These data were published first at my exhibition "712 borders", that took place November 1998 in Jerusalem, on the border between Arab and Jewish parts of the city.
I painted nine poles, each containing 81 borders in chronological order, with border names, numbers and dates. Next to those poles I showed four borders crossings in full detail, with a short story related to that crossing, printed in large letters.
The computer showed data that I could not show on the walls, or in the leaflets that vistors could take. Now you can find all data on the web.

Last update October 24, 2001.
