In the infinite flow of everything, people come and go in our lives. While the presence of some can be so subtle that we hardly register when it begins or ends, with others it’s far clearer: they enter, or leave, with a bang.
In Borders of Nothingness, Dutch photographer Margaret Lansink (b. 1961) dwells in the transitional ambiguity of her adult daughter’s
decision to suspend contact with her, photographing landscapes and nude women whose disappearing presence raises the same haunted question: is this the moment you were gone?
As time passed, Lansink and her daughter reconnected to investigate whether their break could be mended. Lansink then began to
revisit and reinterpret Borders of Nothingness in a physical practice that mirrored their emotional efforts of healing.
Working from the Japanese practice of repairing ceramics with gold leaf, she combines her images, severs them, and mends their breaks with gold leaf to put hope into the possibility of a bond that is stronger and more beautiful because it had once been broken.

Dans le flux infini de nos vies, les gens vont et viennent. Et alors que la présence de certains peut être si subtile que nous remarquons à peine quand elle commence ou quand elle se termine, avec d'autres, c'est beaucoup plus clair : ils entrent ou sortent avec fracas.
Dans Borders of Nothingness, la photographe hollandaise Margaret Lansink (née en 1961) explore l’ambiguïté transitionnelle de la décision de sa fille adulte de suspendre tout contact avec elle, en photographiant des paysages et des femmes nues dont la présence éphémère interroge les mêmes tourments : est-ce le moment où tu es partie ?
Au fil du temps, Lansink et sa fille ont repris contact pour tenter de ressouder leur relation. Lansink a alors revisité et réinterprété Borders of Nothingness de façon à refléter matériellement leurs efforts émotionnels de guérison.
S’inspirant de la méthode japonaise de réparation de la céramique brisée avec des feuilles d’or, elle regroupe ses images, les déchire puis les recolle avec des feuilles d'or pour donner de l'espoir à la possibilité de recréer un lien d’autant plus fort et plus beau qu’il avait une fois été cassé.
