Art Installation: Y Arena and Official Entry

art installation: When a red light flashes, you enter a large chamber with a sand floor, according to The Chronicle Herald. A ragged band of migrants crossing an expansive desert swarms around you. All around you are the abandoned shoes of migrants who have been arrested by the border patrol. For a moment, in the dusty twilight, you join their flight. It's the festival's first virtual reality film to be an official entry. This is part of Alejandro Inarritu's Carne y Arena Virtually present, Physically invisible a visual art installation debuting this week at the Cannes Film Festival. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
