Heroes Of War: Film Still From Interview With Paul Gabriel Fusco
title Heroes Of War: Film Still From Interview With Paul Gabriel Fuscodescription "Heroes of War," by Gonzalo Lebrija, is a video installation projected in the auditorium of the San Diego Veterans Museum in Balboa Park. Over a year before, Lebrija began working with veterans at the Veterans Home of California in Chula Vista. Gonzalo's goal was to intervene in the museum space, creating a curatorial discourse that approximates a creative group experience. Gonzalo participated in a number of reunions of former prisoners of war, or POWs. These experiences led him to explore the notion of military paraphernalia and veterans' narratives. Gonzalo filmed a number of individuals while they discussed the public recognition accorded to them and their actions as servicemen in times of war. --inSite_05 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This film still was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 188, DVD 01) Veterans Museum, Balboa Park (San Diego, Calif.)

Project At Maclovio Rojas: Video Documentary
title Project At Maclovio Rojas: Video Documentarydescription Brazilian artist Monica Nador began her project for inSITE2000 with a two-month residency in the community of Maclovio Rojas in Tijuana. Challenging traditional notions of the role of the artist and audience, Nador worked with ten families in the community to implement a collaborative form of decoration for the exterior of their homes. Encouraging each family to identify ancestral signs, symbols, and other imagery associated with their regional and cultural heritage, Nador and a small team of assistant artists began a process of creating stencils to be used in decorating their houses. Working in the community for approximately six months, the artist's motivation that "beauty is good for mental and spiritual health" resulted in brightly painted and decorated houses that residents in the entire community saw as unifying and adding visual wealth that could be shared by all. A video documenting Accion en Maclovio Rojas/Project at Maclovio Rojas was produced as part of the project. --inSITE2000 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Maclovio Rojas, Tijuana, Baja California Sur, Mexico Paintings Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 00-30) [Title, Date].

Tijuana Projection
title Tijuana Projectiondescription After a two-year process, Krzysztof Wodiczko's project culminated in two evenings of projections on the 60-foot-diameter façade of the Omnimax Theater at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. Known for his large-scale outdoor projections, with "Tijuana Projection/Proyección en Tijuana" Wodiczko wanted to use progressive technology to give voice and visibility to the women who work in the maquiladora industry in Tijuana. The projections consisted of prerecorded materials interspersed with live feeds from a headset with an integrated camera and microphone designed by the artist and worn by the participating women. This was Wodiczko's first time creating a projection incorporating live segments, adding a certain immediacy and potency to the presentation of these very personal accounts. In preparation for the projection, the artist conducted nearly one year of workshops with eight participating women. His work with these eight women was facilitated through two organizations based in Tijuana, (Factor X and Yeuani), that are dedicated to helping women who face difficulties in the workplace or at home. The pre-recorded and live personal testimonies given by the eight women focused on work-related and sexual abuse, family disintegration, alcoholism, and domestic violence. The scale at which these stories were heard and witnessed in the open space of the city and by an audience of more than 1,500 on the Centro plaza over the two nights created a powerful impact and literally magnified what so often never gets spoken about. The projections took place February 23 and 24, 2001. -- inSITE2000 Centro Cultural Tijuana Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 311, Folder 01, Item 408) [Title, Date].

Mama: Video Screen
title Mama: Video Screendescription Brazilian and Swiss artist team Mauricio Dias and Walter Riedweg's inSITE2000 project, "MAMA," was based on work the artists undertook during several extended residencies in the region. Interested in investigating the issues of border security and immigration, the artists met with numerous groups, organizations, and individuals on either side of the border to collect materials. Through this process the artists narrowed their work to deal specifically with K-9 US customs officers on the one hand, and on the other, Mexican citizens trying to cross the border illegally. What interested Dias and Riedweg were the maternal relationships of the K-9 officers and how that informed the relationships they developed with their dogs and in turn the work they were performing daily. The work became an investigation of the border between private and public selves, and of the transgression and transference of private psychology on public situations. The project was shown as a video installation housed in two separate structures located in the San Ysidro pedestrian passage, Pasillo Turistico. Built to simulate the shape and size of ordinary cargo containers, one structure contained video of interviews with the customs officers and showed them interacting with their dogs. Each officer was asked to give his definition of "territory" and "authority." The other structure showed a looped video clip of illegal immigrants meeting up at night around a fire waiting for the "right" moment to jump the fence. --inSITE2000 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Performing Arts (including Performance Art) San Ysidro, San Diego, California, United States Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 03, Item 095) [Title, Date].

Popotla - The Wall Popotla - El Muro: Documentary Video
title Popotla - The Wall Popotla - El Muro: Documentary Videodescription For their InSITE97 Community Engagement project, artist collective RevolcionArte (RevArte) worked with local children and residents of the fishing village Popotla to create murals constructed of found materials to soften and embellish the concrete walls surrounding their community. Popotla had recently been subjected to the development of numerous modern buildings and projects, including the kilometer-long concrete wall constructed for 20th Century Fox's production set for the film Titanic. It was on this wall that the murals were created, giving the residents a sense of ownership over their village and its landscape. Popotla - The Wall/Popotla - El muro, was created over the course of four months, but even after the exhibition was over the community continued to add to the murals. --inSITE97 Popotla, Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 256, DVD 97-11) [Title, Date].

New York City-based artist Judith Barry created a video installation for inSITE2000 that was viewable in four large windows of the old First National Bank Building on the corner of Broadway and 5th Avenue in downtown San Diego. Barry envisioned the programming on these four large screens as a simulation of a broadcast network containing elements created by the artist, as well as contributions by other inSITE artists, established film directors, and students. Barry spent weeks in the region collecting materials to create seven short films that became part of this network - a project she titled "Border stories working title from one side to another." These films were shot on both sides of the border and explored the recollected stories of border experiences. --inSITE2000 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This film still is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 02, Item 036) [Title, Date].

Cross The Razor: Project Documentation
title Cross The Razor: Project Documentationdescription Border Field State Park Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) Terry Allen's project, "Cross the Razor/Cruzar la navaja," was located on both sides of the US-Mexico border fence. Working to establish some sort of platform for communication across the fence, Allen's proposal for a public exchange of words and music evolved from two stationary free-speech areas to two mobile units. Two vans were outfitted with wooden platforms, microphones, amplifiers, and translators, one for each side of the border. For the duration of the project the two vans met at various points along the border fence near Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park; and an open invitation was extended to all to climb onto the vans and communicate by any means to listeners on the other side. - inSITE94 This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 255, DVD 94-25) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

Tijuana Projection
title Tijuana Projectiondescription After a two-year process, Krzysztof Wodiczko's project culminated in two evenings of projections on the 60-foot-diameter façade of the Omnimax Theater at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. Known for his large-scale outdoor projections, with "Tijuana Projection/Proyección en Tijuana" Wodiczko wanted to use progressive technology to give voice and visibility to the women who work in the maquiladora industry in Tijuana. The projections consisted of prerecorded materials interspersed with live feeds from a headset with an integrated camera and microphone designed by the artist and worn by the participating women. This was Wodiczko's first time creating a projection incorporating live segments, adding a certain immediacy and potency to the presentation of these very personal accounts. In preparation for the projection, the artist conducted nearly one year of workshops with eight participating women. His work with these eight women was facilitated through two organizations based in Tijuana, (Factor X and Yeuani), that are dedicated to helping women who face difficulties in the workplace or at home. The pre-recorded and live personal testimonies given by the eight women focused on work-related and sexual abuse, family disintegration, alcoholism, and domestic violence. The scale at which these stories were heard and witnessed in the open space of the city and by an audience of more than 1,500 on the Centro plaza over the two nights created a powerful impact and literally magnified what so often never gets spoken about. The projections took place February 23 and 24, 2001. -- inSITE2000 Centro Cultural Tijuana Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 311, Folder 01, Item 411) [Title, Date].

"Maíz/Maze" was located at the Children's museum of San Diego and in the Regents Park office Complex in La Jolla's Golden Triangle area. Using corn as his primary structural element, Jurist chose a large open area of land in the Golden Triangle and "grew" the floor plan of a typical Southern California condominium. As the corn grew, the floor plan transformed slowly into a maze. At the Children's Museum, Jurist built a pyramid using concrete blocks in the hollow of which he planted corn. A video monitor was installed at the center of the pyramid that continuously showed a static overhead image of the La Jolla corn maze. The artist noted that he wanted to reference the assimilation of cultures, and the flux that occurs between north and south in the region. --inSITE94 [Title, Date]. InSite Archive. MSS 707.

Mama: Film Still With Border Patrol Dog
title Mama: Film Still With Border Patrol Dogdescription Brazilian and Swiss artist team Mauricio Dias and Walter Riedweg's inSITE2000 project, "MAMA," was based on work the artists undertook during several extended residencies in the region. Interested in investigating the issues of border security and immigration, the artists met with numerous groups, organizations, and individuals on either side of the border to collect materials. Through this process the artists narrowed their work to deal specifically with K-9 US customs officers on the one hand, and on the other, Mexican citizens trying to cross the border illegally. What interested Dias and Riedweg were the maternal relationships of the K-9 officers and how that informed the relationships they developed with their dogs and in turn the work they were performing daily. The work became an investigation of the border between private and public selves, and of the transgression and transference of private psychology on public situations. The project was shown as a video installation housed in two separate structures located in the San Ysidro pedestrian passage, Pasillo Turistico. Built to simulate the shape and size of ordinary cargo containers, one structure contained video of interviews with the customs officers and showed them interacting with their dogs. Each officer was asked to give his definition of "territory" and "authority." The other structure showed a looped video clip of illegal immigrants meeting up at night around a fire waiting for the "right" moment to jump the fence. --inSITE2000 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Performing Arts (including Performance Art) San Ysidro, San Diego, California, United States Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This film still is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 03, Item 093) [Title, Date].

Osmosis And Excess: Film Still Depicting Tijuana Hillside Covered In Junk Cars
title Osmosis And Excess: Film Still Depicting Tijuana Hillside Covered In Junk Carsdescription Aernout Mik has created a video entitled "Osmosis and Excess" that interweaves images of junkyards in Tijuana's urban periphery with fictional scenes depicting a local pharmacy inundated with mud. Used cars flow from the United States to Mexico where they are eventually broken down and discarded on Tijuana's barren hillsides. Moving in the other direction, cheap drugs flow from Tijuana into the United States. The abandoned cars and the medications represent different manifestations of excess. Both modify a landscape: one inner, the other outer. The film was shot on high-definition video in a panoramic format to best illustrate the depicted landscapes. The video was projected as an intervention in a public parking lot in downtown San Diego.

New York City-based artist Judith Barry created a video installation for inSITE2000 that was viewable in four large windows of the old First National Bank Building on the corner of Broadway and 5th Avenue in downtown San Diego. Barry envisioned the programming on these four large screens as a simulation of a broadcast network containing elements created by the artist, as well as contributions by other inSITE artists, established film directors, and students. Barry spent weeks in the region collecting materials to create seven short films that became part of this network - a project she titled "Border stories working title from one side to another." These films were shot on both sides of the border and explored the recollected stories of border experiences. --inSITE2000 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This film still is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 02, Item 037) [Title, Date].

Heat Seeking: Cell Phones
title Heat Seeking: Cell Phonesdescription "Heat-Seeking," the film Jordan Crandall produced for inSITE2000, made use of and mimicked surveillance technology deployed along the US-Mexico border. Exploring themes of Erotica and violence through five fantasy sequences woven into the overall structural narrative of mobility and monitoring, the film was shot on location in San Diego and Tijuana over the course of seven days in August 2000. Crandall stated that he wanted to use the language of cinema, advertising, and the "strategic seeing" of military systems to produce a film that would investigate interior and exterior borders. The piece was presented in two formats that each referenced mobility and ultimately established a reconfigured role of the viewer. In Tijuana, the film could be seen on the video billboard at the Cuauhtémoc Circle where scenes would be interspersed with advertising and other public media. In San Diego, Crandall's film could be seen on hand-held cell phones using streaming video technology. --inSITE2000 Cuauhtémoc Circle, Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego (Calif.)

Osmosis And Excess
title Osmosis And Excessdescription Aernout Mik has created a video entitled "Osmosis and Excess" that interweaves images of junkyards in Tijuana's urban periphery with fictional scenes depicting a local pharmacy inundated with mud. Used cars flow from the United States to Mexico where they are eventually broken down and discarded on Tijuana's barren hillsides. Moving in the other direction, cheap drugs flow from Tijuana into the United States. The abandoned cars and the medications represent different manifestations of excess. Both modify a landscape: one inner, the other outer. The film was shot on high-definition video in a panoramic format to best illustrate the depicted landscapes. The video was projected as an intervention in a public parking lot in downtown San Diego.

An effort to understand and investigate the then new virtual technology and its impact of the real gave rise to the group's project for inSITE94, titled "APPARITIONS." Within the created environment of "APPARITIONS" one could interact on screen under an assumed identity with other participants who had entered the created world. VITAL SIGNS members for inSITE94 included Sheldon Brown, Kelly Coyne, Cheryl Devereaux, Jason Ditmars, Brian Duggan, Christa Erickson, Dorota Jakubowski, Tim Nohe, Eric Riel, Mark Tribe, Niklas Vollmer and Payton White. --inSITE94 This film still is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 311, Folder 01, Item 397) University of California, San Diego.

Using corn as his primary structural element, Jurist chose a large open area of land in the Golden Triangle and "grew" the floor plan of a typical Southern California condominium. As the corn grew, the floor plan transformed slowly into a maze. At the Children's Museum, Jurist built a pyramid using concrete blocks in the hollow of which he planted corn. A video monitor was installed at the center of the pyramid that continuously showed a static overhead image of the La Jolla corn maze.

title The Cloud: White Balloons Suspended In The Sky Over The United States/Mexico Border Walldescription New York-based Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar's project for inSITE2000 was designed as an ephemeral monument in memory of the migrants who had died during the previous ten years while trying to cross the border between Mexico and the US. Entitled La nube/The Cloud the piece centered around the ceremonial release of over one thousand white balloons. With the balloons tethered together as a large cloud positioned immediately above the border fence at Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon, not far from Playas de Tijuana, the work took the form of a ceremony that included the performance of classical pieces by Albinoni, Bach and Veracini, the reading of a poem by Tijuana poet Victor Hugo Limon, and a minute of silence. The balloons were then released from the cluster and drifted off one by one across the sky as symbols of the souls of the dead migrants. --inSITE2000 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 256, DVD 00-08) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon [Title, Date].

The Good Rumor Project: Video Documentation
title The Good Rumor Project: Video Documentationdescription "The Good Rumor Project" appropriates and replicates the model of a social experiment. In seeking to invert the more common negative effects of rumor Wrange and his collaborators constructed two "good" rumors: one about people in Tijuana that was spread in San Diego and one about people in San Diego that was spread in Tijuana. In contrast to normal rumors, the "good" rumors were created in dialogue with the actual subjects of the rumors through a series of focus groups. The "good" rumors were disseminated through a multifaceted strategy that combines some of the most advanced marketing techniques - viral/ word of mouth marketing - with structures borrowed from rumor theory as well as recent research on small-world networks and social network analysis. By tracing the organization of the interdependent communication channels in the border zone, as well as the spatial and temporal development of the "good" rumor, Wrange/ OMBUD reveal how Society is predicated on an ever evolving communicative process. --inSite_05 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 05-60) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

Heroes Of War: Lightboxes Representing Ribbons, Awards And Decorations
title Heroes Of War: Lightboxes Representing Ribbons, Awards And Decorationsdescription "Heroes of War," by Gonzalo Lebrija, is a video installation projected in the auditorium of the San Diego Veterans Museum in Balboa Park. Over a year before, Lebrija began working with veterans at the Veterans Home of California in Chula Vista. Gonzalo's goal was to intervene in the museum space, creating a curatorial discourse that approximates a creative group experience. Gonzalo participated in a number of reunions of former prisoners of war, or POWs. These experiences led him to explore the notion of military paraphernalia and veterans' narratives. Gonzalo filmed a number of individuals while they discussed the public recognition accorded to them and their actions as servicemen in times of war. --inSite_05 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 188, DVD 01) Veterans Museum, Balboa Park (San Diego, Calif.)

Apacheta
title Apachetadescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego-based Argentinian artist Graciela Ovejero created an installation for inSITE94 at the Centro Cultural de la Raza entitled "Apacheta." Drawing on Ovejero's personal heritage, the installation focused on the myth of Pachamama, or Mother Earth as it still exists in the belief of natives from the northern part of Argentina. One way that Pachamama is honored is by the construction of stone mounds called apachetas. For her installation the artist built a technological apacheta out of TV monitors, situated on a floor of soil and showing a video diptych, each video respectively titled "The Journey" and "Aspects and Manifestations." The videos were in response to the artist's relationship to the earth and how her cultural background has informed that relationship. --inSITE94 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 264) [Title, Date].

Heat Seeking: Detail Of San Diego Installation
title Heat Seeking: Detail Of San Diego Installationdescription "Heat-Seeking," the film Jordan Crandall produced for inSITE2000, made use of and mimicked surveillance technology deployed along the US-Mexico border. Exploring themes of Erotica and violence through five fantasy sequences woven into the overall structural narrative of mobility and monitoring, the film was shot on location in San Diego and Tijuana over the course of seven days in August 2000. Crandall stated that he wanted to use the language of cinema, advertising, and the "strategic seeing" of military systems to produce a film that would investigate interior and exterior borders. The piece was presented in two formats that each referenced mobility and ultimately established a reconfigured role of the viewer. In Tijuana, the film could be seen on the video billboard at the Cuauhtémoc Circle where scenes would be interspersed with advertising and other public media. In San Diego, Crandall's film could be seen on hand-held cell phones using streaming video technology. --inSITE2000 Cuauhtémoc Circle, Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego (Calif.)

Picturing Paradise: Project Documentation
title Picturing Paradise: Project Documentationdescription Border Field State Park, San Diego and Playas de Tijuana, Tijuana, BC. For inSITE2000 Brazilian artist Valeska Soares was drawn to work directly with the border fence that divides the US and Mexico. Soares wanted specifically to find a way for people on either side of the border to be able to come together around a common theme or event and in some way create an exchange, or the illusion of an exchange, across the fence. Her initial proposal was for a garden project that would require a reconfiguration of the fence, yet it proved to be impossible to obtain permission to realize this idea. Soares changed her proposal but remained faithful to her concept of creating an opening in the fence. With Picturing Paradise the artist installed two highly polished large sheets of steel directly onto a section of chain-link fence at Playas de Tijuana, back to back, and as it were, creating the illusion of an opening in the fence, except what was seen was a reflection. Each mirrored surface was inscribed with an excerpt from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, a text that speaks of two mirror cities and what describes their shared reality. --inSITE2000 Garden and Landscape Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 00-44) [Title, Date].

Project At Maclovio Rojas: Detail Of Wall
title Project At Maclovio Rojas: Detail Of Walldescription Brazilian artist Monica Nador began her project for inSITE2000 with a two-month residency in the community of Maclovio Rojas in Tijuana. Challenging traditional notions of the role of the artist and audience, Nador worked with ten families in the community to implement a collaborative form of decoration for the exterior of their homes. Encouraging each family to identify ancestral signs, symbols, and other imagery associated with their regional and cultural heritage, Nador and a small team of assistant artists began a process of creating stencils to be used in decorating their houses. Working in the community for approximately six months, the artist's motivation that "beauty is good for mental and spiritual health" resulted in brightly painted and decorated houses that residents in the entire community saw as unifying and adding visual wealth that could be shared by all. A video documenting Accion en Maclovio Rojas/Project at Maclovio Rojas was produced as part of the project. --inSITE2000 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design Maclovio Rojas, Tijuana, Baja California Sur, Mexico Paintings Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 247) [Title, Date].

The residents of the colonia protected the car throughout the exhibition and saw it as their own shrine. Meant to contrast the masculine with the feminine, the car was a symbol of refuge and an altar at which residents could seek solace from the struggles that are a part of daily life in Colonia Libertad. --inSITE97 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 256, DVD 97-12) [Title, Date].

Mama: Border Patrol Agents
title Mama: Border Patrol Agentsdescription Brazilian and Swiss artist team Mauricio Dias and Walter Riedweg's inSITE2000 project, "MAMA," was based on work the artists undertook during several extended residencies in the region. Interested in investigating the issues of border security and immigration, the artists met with numerous groups, organizations, and individuals on either side of the border to collect materials. Through this process the artists narrowed their work to deal specifically with K-9 US customs officers on the one hand, and on the other, Mexican citizens trying to cross the border illegally. What interested Dias and Riedweg were the maternal relationships of the K-9 officers and how that informed the relationships they developed with their dogs and in turn the work they were performing daily. The work became an investigation of the border between private and public selves, and of the transgression and transference of private psychology on public situations. The project was shown as a video installation housed in two separate structures located in the San Ysidro pedestrian passage, Pasillo Turistico. Built to simulate the shape and size of ordinary cargo containers, one structure contained video of interviews with the customs officers and showed them interacting with their dogs. Each officer was asked to give his definition of "territory" and "authority." The other structure showed a looped video clip of illegal immigrants meeting up at night around a fire waiting for the "right" moment to jump the fence. --inSITE2000 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Performing Arts (including Performance Art) San Ysidro, San Diego, California, United States Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 03, Item 094) [Title, Date].
