Descripción de la Exposición

In a video and sound installation, Clarissa Tossin compares two Ford Motor Company towns: Belterra, a rubber plantation village in the Amazon Forest, and Alberta, a sawmill town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Built concurrently in 1935, each town provided, respectively, rubber and wood for the manufacturing of the Model T in the United States. The installation establishes a sense of place, showing how specific cultural characteristics invaded and changed these formerly equivalent, pre-planned towns.
