Installation with 3D printed objects

The border between the USA and Mexico is one of the most frequented borders in the world. Its fortifications serve primarily to control migration and the transaction of goods. The wall piece 'Grenzzaun' consists of 32 small plastic fence elements, which were produced through 3D printing. The elements resemble toys; exhibited on one of the walls of the exhibition space, they outline the 3100km border between the USA and Mexico.
