Project Walls. Inhabiting the border between U.S.A. and Mexico

An investigation about the complex nature of the border between San Diego and Tijuana, and the problematic relations within the neighboring territories. The border maintains its crossing-point nature, but it expands and becomes thick enough to contain a city, whose purpose is to keep the two cultures distinct, to educate about a different one and to re-educate passengers about their own culture. The city becomes a device of cultural transformation and it is organized in a sequence of fragments of Mexican and American cities, held together by the coercive action of two walls.
