Yoshua Okón

Collateral tracks the politically-engaged video installation, sculptural and photographic work of Yoshua Okón around a spiral of international relations—from Mexico City, the US-Mexico border and Los Angeles to rural Maine, Guatemala, Santiago de Chile and the Gaza Strip. In a carefully calibrated spectrum of engagements, Okón documents, co-produces, re-imagines and satirizes the social activities of groups and individuals in these locations, acting by turns as observer, participant, collaborator, informant and saboteur. Collateral takes on convergences and casualties in the neoliberal economy, offering an archeology of the ruins and damages of global systems of exchange.
