There be Dragons

Product Description

In the light box work “There be Dragons”, Lisl Ponger stages Christopher Columbus alongside a Frontex officer, both looking out to sea. By juxtaposing European colonial expansion with the contemporary policing of Europe’s borders, Ponger exposes the contradictions between histories of conquest and present-day restrictions on migration, asking ultimately: who are the “monsters” today?
