El Plomo

Video 2014 San Diego, CA + El Plomo, Mexico

The first migration in North America occurred 5 million years ago when ancient red volcanoes unzipped from mainland Mexico and rifted 250 miles north. Today, matching iron-rich geologic “phenotype” connects San Diego, CA population 1.5 million to El Plomo, MX population 3.

El Plomo is a video accounting a 4 day trip returning a rock from San Diego to it's homeland in El Plomo.
