The Border at Lochiel, Arizona
This photo of the U.S.-Mexico border fence in Lochiel, Arizona, is by musician Glenn Weyant. I’ve written about Glenn’s soundings of the border Wall previously on this blog. (Glenn also appears in the Walls book and in my TEDxCalgary talk.) I love how the fish-eye photo serves to subvert the fence it portrays. The barrier is meant to striate and limit the landscape, but the photo distorts the fence and imposes a sort of strange boundlessness to the scene. I’ll add this to my growing collection of art that defeats the Walls.
