Stuart Morgan discusses the themes of migration found in many of the works at the 1996 Manifesta. Hale Tenger's video installation "Cross-section" recounts her difficulties in trying to apply for a visa to leave her country. Frightening in its sheer ordinariness, the installation confirms the importance of the right to cross boundaries.
