UNLAND<\/a>\u00a0presents both documented and fictional material of the Cyprus buffer zone, Varosha and British military bases, as well as areas located in the line of separation where communities from both sides of the border engage in activities such as common grazing grounds and mixed farming. While some of these spaces are defined by rigid military and surveillance architecture, others straddle areas of leisure, nature reserves, tourism, farming and decommissioned zones. The aesthetic qualities of these areas almost contradicts the violent history and militarisation.<\/p>\n

Artist and researcher Rose Butler<\/a> visited the policed borders of Varosha shortly before its reopening. She later invited artist and film maker Kypros Kyprianou as well as artist researcher and lecturer Jeremy Lee<\/a> to visit the new tourist attraction with her. The result of their collaboration was exhibited at NeMe at Limassol in Cyprus until a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n
