Eile {Border-Fictioning}

Eile {Border Fictioning} is the name of an exhibition produced by the authors’ art and spatial research practice (a place of their own), at Bloc Projects in Sheffield, UK, in 2022. The exhibition comprised an assemblage of artworks that we made over several years within the long-term research project ‘Eile’; bringing together material created since 2013 (including three films and performances) with new pieces made specifically for the exhibition (sculptures, sound work, digital prints and writings).
Through the exhibition, we were able to bring the mostly site-specific art works generated by the Eile project into the gallery space, to create a diegetic space with which to tell the story of Eile, both in terms of its origins and how the many practices of fictioning manifest across the space and time of the research.
