Terrenos Fuera Y Dentro, 2025
Terrenos Fuera Y Dentro (Inner and Outer Terrains) is a three-channel video that documents a unique tourist attraction, La Caminata Nocturna, a participatory reenactment of a border crossing into the United States. Throughout the journey, tourists assume the role of migrants, while local community members play the roles of gang members, narcos, and border patrol agents.
The installation juxtaposes interviews with the actors, many of whom have lived through actual border-crossing experiences, with their engrossing portrayals of antagonistic characters. This deliberate weaving of reality and reenactment challenges viewers' preconceptions of migrants and encourages critical reflection on dominant immigration narratives.
