Where the Rio Grande meets the sea, the dunes attract rare sea birds and the last remaining wild ocelots of the USA. But the swamps have been drained, beaches closed and homes bought-out to make room for the new launch facility of SpaceX. SHIFTING BASELINES will question the consequences of this frenetic new space race: are these visions of a promising future or simply crazed ambitions leading us ever more swiftly to our own demise? Somehow, the entirety of the hopes and dreams, the fears and misgivings of our human-species are on display here, in the small Texan town of Boca Chica.
