MEDIA EPOCH OF BORDER

The Mexico-United States barrier is a series of vertical barriers along the Mexico-United States border aimed at prevent illegal crossings from Mexico into the United States. Notably, the barrier is not one continuous structure, but a discontinuous series of physical obstructions variously classified as “fences” or “walls”, it amplified and raised up a series of social, human and racial issues.

 

In which, we want to use the existence and the symbolism of the “Trump Wall” to showcase the situation, imaging the wall as a theme park that allow visitors to explore the “trespassing” scenery, that eventually let them realize the political conspiracies that behind the “sugar-coated” wall, calling our attention for the disparity among people.
