Label TextThis photograph by Alejandro Martinez was created in collaboration with BorderClick, a digital living archive that explores the complexities of the transfronterizo experience. The archive was founded by two artists and The AjA Project, a non profit that provides access to arts programming to youth in the most diverse and historically under-served communities of San Diego. The collection of images depicts the struggles that “border-crossers” deal with on a daily basis and challenges the stereotypes surrounding border issues and immigrants. In this image, Martinez uses a double exposure technique to capture the double life experienced by those who commute across the border between the United States and Mexico for work and housing.
