UNTITLED PAIRINGS (1998-1999): Each of these photographic pairings is composed of two images. One, shot in February 1998, depicts the deserted military architecture of Forts Baker, Barry, and Cronkhite in the Marin Headlands above San Francisco. The other, shot in July 1999, focuses on the abandoned resort architecture of Mullet Bay on Saint Marten in the Caribbean. They are large color Cibachrome prints mounted on Plexiglas.

Grady Gerbracht will gather images on his journey to Jezevo. These images will focus on everyday details in the architecture of the detention center and resorts along the coast. The photographs will be presented so that each image from the detention center is paired with an image from the vacation resorts. The pairing of images from these disparate contexts establishes a mirroring between the migrations of tourists and illegal immigrants.
