in thinking through the relation of trucking to an economics of both capital and desire, we developed a series of bumper stickers which we secretly applied to trucks found in Los Angeles and Tijuana. the four statements or slogans we came up were presented in english and spanish, and attempted to articulate, through the mode of the bumper sticker, the multiple threads at in trucking and transport.
