Bird'S Eye View: View Of Installation From Across Railroad Tracks
title Bird'S Eye View: View Of Installation From Across Railroad Tracksdescription Eugenia Vargas, born in Chile and currently residing in Mexico City, works in the areas of Photography, performance and installation art. Her work deals with the politically charged issues of the border and the effects of pollution on the environment. In her installations, Vargas physically engages the earth and its elements in ritualistic ways - for example, by covering herself or a space with mud, straw, palm fronds or water. Vargas' project for inSITE94 will read as a large filter extending down from the ceiling of the Depot's concourse, using materials derived from the site. - inSITE94 Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)

Just yards from the border fence, one could take a ride on this circular track where a single wagon with five fir trees planted in empty oil drums went around in endless circles to a dizzying effect. However, rather than being transported around on the track itself there was just a single seat at the hub of the circle and the view from the seat was directed straight at the fir trees, so that although movement occurred the outlook one had remained the same. -- inSITE94 [Title, Date].

title No Titledescription Argentinian-born artist Enrique Jezik's untitled piece for inSITE94 was located at the Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego. Jezik specifically wanted to consider issues he felt the site naturally conjured up and referenced, and that to him seemed two culturally shaping forces - labor and violence. Featuring elements such as railway ties and sledgehammers, the installation evoked strength and struggle through material and physical labor. --inSITE94 Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)
