| Project Description In a March 2011 I traveled by plane, and boat to the coordinates 22 11.517 N, 73 34.328 W which mark the halfway point between the United States and Puerto Rico to document the site through photography. The halfway point lies in the Bahamas, 28 miles off the southwestern coast of the Bahamian island named Mayaguana. Acting as an allegory I saw the halfway point as a symbol for Puerto Rico's current political status as an unincorporated territory of the United States, as well as my own multi-cultural experience. Using the virtual globe software Google Earth, the image and coordinates were uploaded and mapped into Google Earth where the halfway point was put on the map, made "real", and can now be found. |
