In opposition to the modes of control and the regulation of bodies profusely developed along the border line, Lozano-Hemmer proposed a momentary alternative. To this extent, it is a critically important artistic work that strove to cultivate relations beyond the limits and perpetual violence of the nation-state. The 12 essays comprising this bilingual English\/Spanish record-written by a range of historians, theorists, curators, artists and cultural workers-enter into convivial exchange with the voices and language, bodies and performances of those who activated the work.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368258842997,"sku":"9781941753880","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781941753880.jpg?v=1763548977","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781941753880","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
