It Is Your Turn Now

Yannis Androulakis

"By questioning the border regime and its social, spatial, and discursive arrangements, philosopher Achille Mbembe seeks to investigate whether and under what conditions we could re-engineer the utopia of a borderless world. Following this line of argument concerning the control of bodies and movement—central to the EU’s migration policies—It Is Your Turn Now aims to anchor the analysis and critique of the border regime while being and thinking with different moments of resistance.

Yannis Androulakis's project features the work and practices of diverse social movements associated with an aligned purpose: their opposition against the state and the market. Of particular interest are the Egyptian Revolution (2011) and the Hong Uprising (2019). The installation consists of brick structures, referencing the ones seen during major protest sites in Hong Kong, and abstracted video scenes taken from the archive that eyewitnesses and members of the Mosireen collective collected during the Egyptian revolution."
