Passing, was the first solo exhibition of the artist Fiamma Montezemolo between the Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua and El ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½, Texas border, taking place in Proyectos Impala an art gallery inside a trailer truck (MX), and the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts (USA).
Montezemolo presented two installations that dialogue with each other across the border not only as a physical, political and militarily identified space in recent years as the biggest obstacle for thousands of immigrants, but into the geopolitical and metaphorical borders of language in a globalized world.
As part of the Passing collaboration, the Rubin Center hosted an installation of Neon Afterwards, an immersive installation in which 7 sentences, written in fluorescent LED blue light tubes, float at different heights in the dark space of a room. The sentences are extracted from the Borges' short story 'The Anthropologist (1969). In an adjacent room, 3 books containing the mentioned story are exhibited with the key LED sentences erased with a blue tape. The story is therefore disseminated in different spaces.
