No Global Tour
2012
A stark black and white photograph documents Sierra's provocative intervention, in which the words "NO GLOBAL" were tattooed or inscribed across the backs of paid workers or volunteers in various international locations. The work critiques the contradictions of globalization, using human bodies as sites of political inscription while simultaneously implicating the artist himself in the exploitative systems he seeks to challenge. Sierra's blunt, confrontational approach forces viewers to reckon with the uncomfortable relationship between labor, consent, and the global circulation of capital.
