While I had this inherent concern about borders and bureaucratic structures in relation to migration, I decided to start zooming in and explore my own bureaucratic surroundings through my personal lens. As a student, I was eager to understand and dig into the educational institutions’ bureaucratic mechanisms being driven by smaller-scale bureaucratic struggles and peers’ narratives, stories and experiences. My starting point were concerns and a need to explore potential bureaucratic dramaturgies within the educational institution I am currently part as a student. However, unexpected emergencies placed centrally my personal bureaucratic struggles that were being unfolded in parallel with the making period. Accordingly, this project was dynamically being reshaped due to the material constraints of the bureaucratic timeline. I utilized the paperwork interface of my smaller-scale story in order to unravel and foreground questions related to the role of bureaucracy as less material border and as a mechanism of regulation that reflects narratives, ideologies, policies of the state.
