Ayate Car - Insite 97. Colonia Libertad. Tijuana
The Ayate Car, simbol of the unceasing quest of a miracle, a vehicle that arrives t the border filled with a cargo of hope, but the line is hard. The aparition does not come - only rejection, immobility, and decline. What appears instead is the other side of the car, opposite to technology, security and speed: fragility and chance. In its sedentariness, the car suggests that even were it to move, nothing would change. The automobile as home, refuge, altar. In the Ayate Car, interior becomes exterior, masculine becomes feminine, mechanical becomes craft, and urban becomes personal and emotional. An offering to a long history of accidents and disappearences that are a daily staple in places like Colonia Libertad.
