A 180 cm x 500 cm double-sided pennant displays a set of "indigenous" arrows on one side and the stars of the United States flag on the other. The arrows pursue with excellent aim; the stars flee, crowding together, overcome by fear. This piece flew from east coast to west coast across the US via DHL before crossing the border into the United States of Mexico for exhibition at the IV Tijuana International Biennial.
A 180 cm x 500 cm double-sided banner (double banner) shows a set of 'Indian' arrows on one side and the stars of the flag of the United States of America on the other. The arrows chase with excellent aim; the stars flee, overcome by fear. This piece flew from east coast to west coast over the USA, via DHL, before crossing the border into the United States of Mexico for its exhibition at the IV International Biennial of Tijuana.
尺寸为180厘米×500厘米的双面横幅（双面旗帜）一侧展示了一组“印度”风格的箭头，另一侧则呈现了美国国旗上的星徽。箭矢以精准的射击追逐；星辰在恐惧中逃窜。这件作品通过DHL从美国东海岸运至西海岸，随后越过边境进入墨西哥合众国，在蒂华纳第四届国际双年展上展出。
