简介：Outlandish and captivating, Cosmic Generator is a roughly twenty-six-minute video shot partly in Mexicali, along the Mexico-US border. As in many of Rottenberg’s videos, scenes filmed on location are interspersed with those shot on sets of her own design. In the opening, the camera leads the viewer through tunnels ostensibly connecting the various funky workshops and restaurants shown later. The tunnel imagery immediately suggests the futility of the impending border wall with Mexico, which appears under construction in several above-ground shots in the work.
