About The Work
I grew up within an invisible story. What is border art? Something I did not get to witness, but I was told happened. Border art is a ghost I would like to know, and that must be invoked. This past summer, I made an invisible exhibition throughout public spaces of Tijuana, San Diego, and Popotla areas. I installed some photographs of events that took place between 1994 and 1995 as part of Insite, which back then became key pieces of border art. I placed a framed archive picture alongside the title of the original piece and abandoned it on site. What I kept for myself was the documentation of the installed images, as a gesture to reactivate a history that I did not have the chance to witness.
