Dimension variable

The Republic of Unknown Territory, is a multimedia installation/performance project that interrogates the nature of borders, immigration, and privilege by simulating and recontextualizing the experience of obtaining a visa at a customs office for her audience. The idea of this exhibition was to move deeper into this question of immigration by exploring the technical and often convoluted process of getting a visa when one is born in a post-colonial country. By confronting viewers with the extensive and haphazard application process, American audiences were able to experience the humiliating, illogical hurdles one must overcome to receive something as simple as a tourist visa to enter the United States.
