You Are Aquí: Freeway At Night
title You Are Aquí: Freeway At Nightdescription Cuban-born artist Arturo Cuenca was drawn to work with the visual language of billboards that crowd the US-Mexican border crossing at San Ysidro. With "You Are Aquí" Cuenca pointed to the obvious - locating border crossers exactly at the point of transition between the two countries. Borrowing from the visual language of the surrounding billboards. Cuenca constructed a new billboard with a manipulated satellite image of the border and had it installed on the Puente Mexico, the pedestrian bridge that crosses the lines of vehicular border traffic.

Consigned To Border: The Terror And Possibility In The Things Not Seen: Five-Sided Billboard
title Consigned To Border: The Terror And Possibility In The Things Not Seen: Five-Sided Billboarddescription For her inSITE97 project, "Consigned to Border: The terror and possibility in the things not seen/Consignado a la frontera: el terror y la posibilidad en las cosas que no se han visto," Judith Barry designed a five-sided, T-shaped billboard upon which changing images of regional landscapes were projected. Located at the Children's Museum in downtown San Diego, this indoor installation invited the viewer to compare the two border cities, San Diego and Tijuana, cities with similar geographies but very dissimilar appearances. Each side of the billboard focused on a different section of each city, from the coastlines to busy urban spaces, using Photography and collage. --inSITE97 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The New Children's Museum (American museum) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 02, Item 035) [Title, Date].
