Gateways (2012)
"Alex Levy’s 'Gateways,' 2011, an eloquent soundscape in Spanish and English, layers the voices of a dozen people into a mesmerizing oral symphony that mourns the ruptures created by the international divide. (The words are also written on a placard inside a sound booth where visitors can sit and listen.)
A Mexican woman living in the U.S. laments the loss of her family. On brief visits home, she says, she 'soaks up' her beloved parents and siblings. A U.S. poet speaks sorrowfully of the borderlands, where 'some lives we value / some lives we take.' An American woman recounts how bird-lovers flock to see border-crossing birds, whose arrival is celebrated and cherished; not so, she notes, the border-crossing humans."
