Based on the work of two Mexican photographers who started out as photojournalists in the nineteen-eighties, notably at La Jornada, this article questions the look directed at a border that has undergone great changes over the last 40 years. Elsa Medina was La Jornada’s correspondent in Tijuana towards the end of the 1990s. She photographed the Mexican North-West border for some twenty years, during her frequent trips to this border town. She pictures a line that has become vertical with time, through various US administrations that have built miles and miles of wall along the border. A few years ago, Francisco Mata Rosas undertook a long-term project entitled “La línea”, centered on the physical and human geography of this space, from West to East.
