520 |a In a series of 1992 performances, Coco Fusco and Guillermo Gómez-Peña decked themselves out in primitive costumes and appeared before the public as "undiscovered AmerIndians" (an aboriginal couple from Guatianaui, a fictional island off the coast of Mexico), locked in a golden cage--an exercise in faux anthropology based on racist images of natives. Presented eight times in four different countries, these simple performances evoked various responses, the most startling being the huge numbers of people who didn't find the idea of "natives" locked in a cage objectionable. This provocative tape suggests that the "primitive" is nothing more than a construction of the West and uses comic fiction to address historical truths and tragedies. Color sequences of the display in various museums are contrasted with archival footage and still photographs showing various occasions when truly indigenous persons were put on public display at circuses, sideshows, and the like, emphasizing the response of the people viewing the Guatianaui couple
