The artist relates footage from a restaurant and a Calexico shop to a huge plastic market in Yiwu, China. The&nbsp; tunnel system suggests a reflection on how certain objects are allowed to circulate freely in the world, while for others, traveling a distance of a few meters can be a long and complex process.<br>The tiredness displayed by some of the female protagonists is also a reference to sleep as a temporary means of retreat and as one of the few remaining bodily resources that cannot be exploited.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in 1976, she lives and works in the United States.
