outside the wall, i kept on going all the way to the ocean. i was like that katie doesn't know what offenses, he doesn't know that those two countries and two sides doesn't know about that border so i go back and i see him standing in the crib looking around. and then i left. and i look around,, down the

little hill like up to the wall, it's nothing is just grass and garbage in their. so i'm like okay whose land is this? so i ask every neighbor, excuse me sir, do you know who's land is? that all right, that's all i need to hear. they do know who's lionesses? they wouldn't even open the door. so what do you do? my only option was, is to build it there. they will deliver to whatever address. so, i started digging the ground. and i was like all right, we went out the risk for me as a french person in mexico dig in the ground next to the border? i'm not digging a hole under, i'm just flattening it. so maybe the mexicans will come first and say, hey man, you can't do that here, are you crazy? i'll be like, oh, i'm so sorry. one day,, two, days, three days nobody says anything. and we look at the ground. i couldn't believe it i was like with the flock, who is in

charge here? so then i go to a place with scaffolding. that's like if you pay, we don't ask questions. it's bigger than the wall, it's three times the size of the wall. let's say the border patrol will stop us you. i come with my team, and we pace that kit. and then i say, maybe that's where i will lose everything, because all the patrol will start saying -- we should do something about it.

claude [speaking spanish] in one day we pasted the entire structure. as like okay let's go here. i passed back on the other side, and stumbled on those two border patrols just looking at the kid. i put on the internet, like hey, whoever wants to go see that kid, here's a location. that's all he said. one thing -- people go see, that let's go to take a selfie in front of that.

that's where my idea stopped. people go and take photos, so they'll see the wall. it's the same land, but on each side. and what happened is something i haven't planned. people exchanging their phones, through the wall, to take photos of each other. connecting, talking, how are you? the border patrol say, they could be passing drugs or weapons, let's go arrest those people. after three weeks, no one got arrested. how did people get arrested for passing stuff through the wall?

organize a table that would go through the wall. we built the table, 36 feet on each side. it would block the road a little bit, on the u.s. side, so the table would end up on the road. a few days later, we got a letter from the border patrol, saying that they strongly recommend keeping the table on the mexican side only. we continued, but we had to improvise another way of putting the table on the u.s. side. and then we invited people to come, and see it for the last time. well on the mexican side, all started singing and we started making food. there is no way down at the, side because we couldn't make the table. >> i'm from germany, wow,

amazing. >> as soon as people would come to take photos we'd be like, hey, can you stay a little bit longer? after like an, hour an hour and a half, it was maybe 20 to 30 people. and we passed them guitar, and we're like okay maybe when we have a couple of minutes, let's go fast. >> the table, on the mexican side, and continued on the u.s. side. one music band, and two sides. half of the ban was in mexico, that they have as in the u.s.. but it was in the same and plane to say music. we would pass them illegal tacos for the wall. i'm, thinking we will get arrested in five minutes. let's just pretend we're eating, and take a photo.

>> thank you. >> a chinese stay at the mexican border, how is that? >> when in talks with mira, when she came back i never thought should be talking with an officer. he said he also had family on the side, and they were talking. that made me realize that i can go places, beyond rules and borders, maybe because not art is not part of any organization. it's not part of the state, it's something that we own, we the people own. and that's why go so far. that little kid saying, hey, i'm here, i exist. >> i future, a better future, that's what it means for me.
