Mi casa es tu casa

Mexico City–based artist Moris's site-specific installation Mi casa es tu casa presented a series of conceptually linked vinyl texts and digital prints. An enlarged copy of the artist's recent visa denial letter was installed on the museum's façade, select phrases of text were attached to the canopy support beams, and the building's entryway was covered with a series of initially hidden images arranged in a grid on the ground, collecting dirt as spectators entered the museum to reveal over time a group portrait. Exploring ideas of illegal immigration and concealed ethnic identity, Moris used the state of latent revelation within the material to add an additional layer of encryption to the work.
