Borderlands is a solo exhibition by photographer Valentina Culley-Foster. This exhibition comprises two projects “From the North to the Republic” and “Berlin Wall Trail: Space in Flux” both of which explore borders and their legacy.

“From the North to the Republic” paints a portrait of the differences and similarities of communities from Derry and takes viewers on a journey across the border between Northern Ireland and the scenic County of Donegal. As the future of border has assumed prominence in the context of Brexit, these images explore its past and current impact, both legally and politically and in the minds of the people who live near it.

“Berlin Wall Trail: Space in Flux” follows the route of the former site of the Berlin Wall, which spans 96miles (155km) and forms the circumference of what was once the “island” of West Berlin. Although few tangible remnants of the Wall remain along the trail the space is in flux as nature reclaims the land or man contributes to the change of the landscape that is now part of a unified capital city.
