This video essay focuses on the landscapes of the Sonoran Desert-and the project of a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico-as a way of investigating the manner in which something as seemingly generic as a wall can take on particular political and affective forms. This short provocation explores the ways that violent and distasteful objects create, and subsequently come to characterize, malevolent spectacles.
