Description
Photo of David Avalos installation from an unknown exhibition featuring a collage beneath the crossed-out word 'Cristo'. The area surrounding the collage and text is smeared with red paint resembling blood. Text on either side of the collage reads, "Christ is the perfect victim you can abuse him all you want and he will still forgive you... Cristo goes both ways at the border and thus becomes meaningful as a symbol for social and political change." The collage features images of Christ, Immigration Commisioner Leonel Castillo, and the text "A Shephard Policeman". On either side of the area smeared with blood are reproductions from a newspaper article titled " Boy finds scars of shooting burn deep in his mind."
