EL CHINERO, A PHANTOM HILL
El Chinero, un cerro fantasma
Synopsis
El Chinero is a site in the Desert of Baja, California. Despite its name, little proof exists about a tragedy that took place here in 1916. Hundreds of Chinese migrants died while fleeing violence in mainland Mexico. How can one fill the void with images, construct an archive where none exist?
