I walked, disguised as a giant reed, through the Tijuana river in Mexico towards the border with the United States. I began my performance at the Zona ecologica Alamar , one of the last green areas in Tijuana. This area has been disputed in recent years since it is under constant threat to be channelized. A local initiative named Alamar sustainable is fighting to protect the area as a public environmental zone. I walked in the water, following the change from a 'natural' water path to the concrete channel that holds the Tijuana river water. At the last moments of Plant Migration I crossed the border between Mexico and the United States, a border marked as a yellow line on the concrete basin. Through a short encounter with the American border police I was ordered to walk back into Mexico, where I have left the reed suit. Through this performance I wished to experience on my body so-called contradictions such as the natural/artificial, the human-made boundaries colliding with natural system and to refer to bioregional politics and the subject of immigration between the two states. <iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nrMqAPG1GWc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> ![[files/_yoav admoni-2018-09-23.jpeg]] ![[files/_yoav admoni-2018-09-23-1.jpeg]]
