Artist Statement:
In Search of Aztlan… is an intervention-based work that follows the artist as he explores the territory around his childhood home looking for an understanding of his Chicanx heritage and in doing so cracks a window into the US/MX border. By merging dashcam videos, along with audio recordings of radio signals, the work explores how borders, both physical and psychological, shape our individual and collective identities.
