Abstract
This chapter responds to the theme of borders with reference to the artistic and activist work of the Iranian refugee Behrouz Boochani, who was held for several years at Manus Island detention center, Papua New Guinea, at the behest of the Australian government. The discussion examines Boochani’s documentary film, Chauka, Please Tell Us the Time (2017), created clandestinely on a mobile device within the detention center. The chapter considers new border formations, marked by prolonged encounters with prohibitory migration laws that transform borders from instruments of passing into tools of impasse. Describing an emergent condition of the border, the chapter works through a concept of “thickening” that results from punitive laws concerning forced migration and from the artistic interventions of people subjected to these laws.
