In Inside the Outset: Evoking a Space of Passage Barba deals with the 180-kilometers "Dead Zone," the area that divides the Cypriot island in two parts. The project is a result of a seven-year process, when Barba first thought about building a cinema sculpture in the Buffer Zone of Cyprus.

The artist initiated the idea of an amphitheater with a permeable screen, on which the film could be watched from both sides, and accessed from all communities. Working within a political landscape, Barba sought to counterbalance existing images of conflict with a strong position expressing solidarity and openness.
