Salvando las Distancias

Performance, Moria (Lesbos), 2018 with Mapipo Yeyo

Salvando las distancias is a spanish idiom used to express that apart from the obvious differences, A and B are exactly the same. On the 5th of September 2018, together with the congolese afrobeat artist Mapipo Yeyo, we walked alongside an area of fence of Moria migrant detention Camp. The only obstacle between us being the fence itself. Mapipo walked inside the camp he was detained in, Darius walked outside. At a chosen moment, we traversed one of the holes in the fence to exchange positions. We then continued walking for a stretch of time, Mapipo outside the camp, Darius inside.
