America's Family Prison (2008)
Synopsis
In 2008, the artist rented a cell from a leading American vendor of private prisons and placed it in an exhibition gallery. Reflecting on the family cells at T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Texas—which is currently used to detain non-US citizens awaiting the outcome of their immigration status—Galindo occupied the rented cell with her family for 24 hours. This video documents the experience, which took place behind closed doors, and comments on the contemporary migration process between Central America and the US.
