The photographic strategy in Borderlands centers on exploring the liminal spaces where geographical and cultural boundaries intersect and blur. Francesco Anselmi captures these transitional zones with a focus on landscape and human environments, highlighting both the physical and metaphorical tensions present in border regions.

Anselmi’s images meditate on themes of division and connection, revealing borders not just as barriers but as places of exchange and coexistence. The visual approach employs a careful balance between stark realism and composed, contemplative scenes that evoke a mood of quiet reflection and complexity.
