The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf In Luxury Car Dealer Showroom
title The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf In Luxury Car Dealer Showroomdescription João Louro's project "The Jewel / In God We Trust" traces the inverted trajectory of the recycling dynamic that characterizes the border zone. His project begins with the selection of a European car recovered from a junkyard in Tijuana and transformed into a "jewel" through the addition of a skin of gold leaf. Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego. Proceeds from the sale will be given to an elementary school in Tijuana and used to support visual art workshops for children, where students will be encouraged to add further layers of imagery to the paper money. --inSite_05 La Jolla, San Diego (Calif.)

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.
