A Special Presentation by Steven Gagnon March 2, 2011

The "Border Cruiser" is a video installation in a former police car by artist, Steven Gagnon. Projected from inside onto the rear windows of the vehicle is a Brazilian immigrant who tells his ordeal of how he entered the United States illegally and the difficulties he faces once he is in the country. The video sculpture is the fourth project in an ever expanding body of work and marks the first that maintains the full functionality of the automobile while the videos are playing. The work's intent is to heighten public awareness of the dangers and hardships that immigrants face who enter the country illegally to find work.
