Description
This work combines photo tex panels representing the working conditions in Mexican <em>maquiladoras</em>, a kind of manufacturing plant in which duty-free imported elements are assembled for export, with documentation of the display of the photomontages on the inside and outside of a cargo van that the artist drove through politically charged regions of Tijuana and college campuses in San Diego.- Comer, Stuart, and Anthony Elms, Michelle Grabner, eds.
