Marcos Ramirez ERRE, The Comeback Highway, 1999 Installation/performance, made with 50 square wood boxes that remind us of the read between Los Angeles California and Mexico City. First, the wood boxes are put together, then the boxes are filled with concrete, when the pour is finished, the 4 journeymen that helped to do the work walk over the fresh concrete, from the box that represents Mexico City towards the box that represents Los Angeles. Then the artist walks the opposite direction, from the box that represents Tijuana towards the box that represents Mexico City. Photo by Julio Orozco. Courtesy of the artist.

Marcos Ramírez ERRE is a multi-disciplinary artist from Tijuana whose practice explores notions of identity, the US-Mexico border, the relationship between humans and their environment through site specific installations. His work stresses the significance of historical memory and the preservation of human ideals.

In 2007, ERRE received a United States Artist fellowship. 

Since 1989, ERRE has become active in the field of visual arts and has participated in numerous residencies, delivered multiple lecture presentations, and exhibited various group and solo exhibitions internationally.
