Daniel Monroy Cuevas, New Frontier, 2015.
Filmed in an abandoned drive-in-cinema in the historically important San Luis Valley in Colorado, the video-installation by Monroy Cuevas describes a series of five obstructions in a changing landscape that was once the border between the United States and Mexico. These obstructions occur in pairs: an old object and a new one, mounted on a tripod. Monroy’s camera, in an attractive choreography, follows each object synchronously like a satellite, pointing to the parallels between cinema’s romanticism and the impossibility of setting a scene; a permanent reference framework: either a fiction on the screen or a border between countries.
