Cruces is an immersive expedition throughout the geographies and stories composing the Latin American journey to reach US soil. By weaving together oral histories and the landscape, the installation is structured to highlight the constitutive elements of transit, such as trains and rivers, and the obstacles immigrants face while moving, such as forests, deserts, and border regimes. Recorded between 2018 and early 2020, this multivocal ethnography comprises the distributed yet relational geographies of immigrants' quests and settling. Enhanced with an immersive soundtrack and an experimental narrative, this composition wants to reflect a raw exploration of these regions and testimonies amid one of our age's defining, challenging, and politicized phenomena.
