Description
Sculpture and Installations
For her inSITE97 project, "Consigned to Border: The terror and possibility in the things not seen/Consignado a la frontera: el terror y la posibilidad en las cosas que no se han visto," Judith Barry designed a five-sided, T-shaped billboard upon which changing images of regional landscapes were projected. Located at the Children's Museum in downtown San Diego, this indoor installation invited the viewer to compare the two border cities, San Diego and Tijuana, cities with similar geographies but very dissimilar appearances. Each side of the billboard focused on a different section of each city, from the coastlines to busy urban spaces, using Photography and collage. --inSITE97
