Intimate Borders of Liminal Love is a book born from a journey undertaken by three artists from separate continents. In the autumn of 2023, Habib Afsar from Pakistan, Ipshita Maitra from India and Mara Züst from Switzerland came together in the Swiss mountains to collaboratively explore the topic of borders – an arbitrary line that separates, belonging to neither side, yet a place of possible intimacy. The following weeks led to questions of practice, purpose, and authorship, bringing to the fore thoughts about the baggage we carry, the boundaries and borders that separate us, and the healing that takes place through confrontation and collective energy as well as in nature.
