title The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf At The Haudenschild Garage: Auction Nightdescription Haudenschild Garage, La Jolla, San Diego (Calif.) João Louro's project "The Jewel / In God We Trust" traces the inverted trajectory of the recycling dynamic that characterizes the border zone.
