A tiny line of text, “Your ceiling is my floor, my floor is your ceiling.
Your floor is my ceiling, my ceiling is your floor”, was translated into 83 languages. It was then inscribed along the facade of Sharon & Christophe’s building, only to be seen with a pair of binoculars.
This work responds to the relationship between language, nations & borders. It discusses the potential for borders to be porous and the politics of language, namely how it can unify or divide a group of people.

Audiences move throughout the home with the aid of sound and light cues. The characters Marco Polo and Kublai Khan occupy different rooms, as the audio track features their conversations.
