DIVIDED LAND | Mari Kon
This project began in 2013 when I drove through El Paso and, for the first time, saw the split landscape, cut by the border wall and designated by the United States. From this moment, I decided to travel to all the major border cities and several border towns in both the United States and Mexico. This was accomplished in four trips between 2013-2017. I've become deeply interested in how borders effect landscapes and their inhabitants, and vice versa.
