Borrando la Frontera
Erasing the Border
Ana Teresa Fernández
Somewhere on a beach in Tijuana, a woman in a black cocktail dress climbs a ladder and starts to paint the border fence between Mexico and the USA. The bluer the fence bars become – as the wall starts to disappear into the blue sky – the more visible the woman becomes. Thanks to this surreal act of border erasure, and the imaginary »hole in the wall«, Ana Teresa Fernández is extending an offer of peace.
