Digger monument to 'borderbusters' with an 'Irish Unity Now sign' on the County Fermanagh side of the border in the north with County Cavan. Border busters kept the border roads open between Ireland and Northern Ireland which were blocked by British Army Forces enforcing a hard border with military checkpoints during The Troubles. This lasted up until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The digger was originally bought for £3000 in 1992 by locals.
Are the figures pushing down a wall or building one?
Giant metal humans, their flesh painted to look like raw meat, push against a border fence.
The original 2003 concept had the figures leaning on the actual border fence, first on the Mexican side and then on the United States side. But concerns about border security caused the project to be scrapped on the U.S. side, and instead the installation traveled to the University of Arizona mall as a temporary exhibition. It was installed permanently at this location in 2005.
Today, Border Dynamics is one of the most significant and important works of public art in the UA collection, speaking to the tensions of fear, misunderstanding, and resistance to change on both sides of the border. Alberto Morackis died in 2008, but Guadalupe Serrano still produces murals and sculpture in Mexico and the United States with the artist collective known as Taller Yonke.

We had a grandly spooky time at Borders bookstore's 2010 Halloween Spooktacular at Kips Bay (32nd Street and 2nd Avenue, Manhattan)! Kids donned spectacular costumes and made Halloween treat bags with us, listened to hilarious Halloween tales, and paraded in costume around the store. Special thanks to Coreen Mann and Cale Hand for accommodations!
I spotted this fine fellow on the edge of a country lane, near a wire fence. He was too intent on defending his territory, patrolling up and down the fence, to be bothered by me. I took a series of shots from within about 6-8 feet of him.
