John Smith, Alejandro Cruz“Passing” examines how nationality impacts our perception of identity, commonality, character, and value. ThisGot The Power Boomboxes is a series of site-specific sculptures constructed out of vintage boomboxes, that are installed in public spaces as well as museums and galleries. The sculptures take the form of a tower or figure(s). Each sculpture plays a soundtrack consisting of local community members’ favorite songs and audio recordings of their memories from that place, in the form of a story. I collect these songs and stories from the local community whenever I create a sculpture. Each sculpture becomes a portrait of a specific community through music and oral histories, existing in public space. So far sculptures have been created in Harlem, Washington Heights, Minnesota, Alabama, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Hartford, Detroit and internationally in the Ukraine. series places photographs of the same individuals on photographic reproductions of several different passports from around the world. With this work I am questioning how perception and preconceived notions change in accordance to nationality. Furthermore, how does perception of a certain nationality impact access to the various resources of the world? How does change within a given nationality based on race/ethnicity and gender? This project raises issues of class, race, ethnicity, diplomatic relations and international politics. There are also issues of class, related to the global hierarchy of certain nations in global politics.
