  • "" ... [S]et in the Mexican border town of Ciudad Juarez, where the U.S. industries assemble their electronic and digital equipment. ... [L]ooks at the border as both a discursive and a material space and discusses the sexualization of the border region through gendered labour division, prostitution, the entertainment industry, and sexual violence in the public sphere. The serial killings in Juarez raise questions of the public/private and the entanglement between eroticized violence and mass technologies of the information society"--Container."
  • "A video essay set in Ciudad Juarez, where U.S. industries assemble their electronic equipment, and explores the sexualization of the border region through gendered labor division in the maquiladoras, prostitution, and sexualized violence, in particular the serial killings in Juarez."
  • ""A video essay set in the Mexican-U.S. border town of Ciudad Juarez, where U.S. multinational corporations assemble electronic and digital equipment just across from El Paso, Texas. This imaginative, experimental work investigates the growing feminization of the global economy and its impact on Mexican women living and working in the area. Looking at the border as both a discursive and material space, the video explores the sexualization of the border region through labor division, prostitution, the expression of female desires in the entertainment industry, and sexual violence in the public sphere. Candid interviews with Mexican women factory and sex workers, as well as activists and journalists, are combined with scripted voiceover analysis, screen text, scenes and sounds recorded on site, and found footage to give new insights into the gendered conditions inscribed by the high-tech industry at its low-wage end." --Kanopy website."
  • "Documentaire. Performing the Border a été réalisé à Ciudad Juarez, ville mexicaine frontalière des États-Unis où sont implantées plusieurs usines américaines. L'artiste y a interviewé des femmes travaillant dans les usines, d'autres se prostituant, ainsi que des activistes et des journalistes dénonçant les actes de violence commis dans la région. Ces témoignages sont ponctués par un récit critique en voix off énoncé par l'artiste et analysant le concept de frontière.

  • "Einige multinationale US-Unternehmen haben sich in Ciudad Juárez, an der Grenze von Mexiko mit den Vereinigten Staaten niedergelassen, und haben das weibliche Arbeitskräftepotential genützt, was Veränderungen in der Region mit sich gebracht hat. Dieser Film geht diesen Veränderungen nach und beleuchtet verschiedene Probleme der Grenzregion wie Arbeitsteilung, Prostitution, Unterhaltungsindustrie und sexuelle Gewalt im öffentlichen Leben."
