Ammo Box Landscape
To create Ammo Box Landscape, Guillermo Galindo mapped musical notation onto photographer Richard Misrach's landscape photographs of the United States-Mexico border, which he then printed onto an ammunition box. Galindo often cites the term "prosopopeia" to describe his idea that objects can communicate stories from imaginary, absent, or deceased people. By uniting seemingly diverse images into one musical score, Galindo evokes these stories from the border though symbolic language and visual data.
