Border Bang is a passionate love letter to the Tijuana, Mexico, and US border, documenting the bootleg artefacts sold to locals and tourists alike. Raised in Tijuana, Gutierrez crossed the border to attend school. He was dazzled by the objects being sold, creating alternative narratives to the cartoon characters and celebrity portraits that he saw. Border Bang is a reflection of his childhood narrative, using images from Mickey Mouse to Tupac Shakur to convey the reflections and meditations of global events as witnessed by the border, exploring his love affair with Mexican pop and folk culture.
