The photographic medium has always been in the vanguard of the investigation of political phenomena, registering moments of change and questioning the cultural identity. National boundaries are drawn as a result of political, historical or military motives and are therefore arbitrary, flexible and vulnerable. Unless, of course, they correspond to natural boundaries, which often happens. Only the immense sea, a mountain range, or an impenetrable desert, limits us to the question of why this or that piece of land should belong to this or that country.
