Terrenos Fuera Y Dentro (Inner and Outer Terrains)is a three-channel video installation documenting La Caminata Nocturna, a participatory reenactment of a border crossing into the U.S. created as an immersive experience for tourists. In this staged journey, tourists step into the roles of migrants, while local residents—many with harrowing experiences of migration—play the menacing roles of gang members, narcos, and border patrol agents. This innovative documentary raises critical questions about whether these reenactments serve as exploitation or a means of survival and agency for those involved.
Sui Generis (by itself, one of a kind) is the story of a young boy who crosses the US/Mexico border. Like many others, he leaves everything behind and faces a future of many incarnations. Whatever his path, he discovers the border is always there, changing form, a different barrier for every dream. Music and lyrics by The Dandelion War (2010).
