Virtual tunnels are made to go beyond obstacles, to allow people appart to meet in spite of any form of obstacles. Frontiers and borders are artificial obstacles. Images from the Web reflect on what the zones of tension resulting from borders express of our vision of the world. The similarity of content and action on these images goes beyond the local culture and the motivations for keeping people appart. The two ends of the tunnel can be in the same space, if long enough, like in the Just Dig/It exhibition at Osage Gallery Hong Kong. They can also be placed in two different countries allowing cultural break through, in the virtual.
