Shipping Lanes

By  Chris Wright 2009 - 2010

Michael Hobson/Chris Wright

Shipping Lanes is a two part site specific work where pages of a guidebook were made into boats and floated at the centre of the Mekong River at two sites. Firstly between Thailand and Laos and Secondly between Laos and Cambodia. As the centre of the river is the official border, it highlights the ambiguity of the shifting course of the river and hence the fluctuating border.
