6 Border Tourism Attractions as a Space for Presenting and
Symbolizing Peace

In his creation ‘Homeland’, artist Amos Plaut designed each of the states of the world in clay, casting according to the shape of its geopolitical border, but unlike regular maps and political atlases that provide the relative size of a country’s area by means of a key, each country in his creation is of equal size.
Thus each one constitutes a space unto itself – like an island in the middle of the ocean (Fig. 6.1). The parts do not connect to one another, i.e. they do not border on one another, and they can be placed in different shapes by hanging

them on a wall or laying them flat on a surface (www.amosplaut.com).
Observing this display may arouse thoughts about the meaning of international boundaries around the world throughout history, and even today. Thus, for example, it is possible to think, hypothetically, about the many conflicts and wars that have broken out over territories and the location of the borders separating neighbouring countries. Perhaps part of these conflicts could have been prevented if countries did not border on one another physically. Another hypothetical point that could be raised is the thought of a world with fewer borders and physical barriers that strives to achieve and actually maintains genuine and lasting peace relations among all nations in the present age of globalization, where a large percentage of the residents of the world are tourists who can travel and visit any of the other countries freely.
