"Go" is a 4,000 year old Asian board game which is played by alternating the placement of round "stones" on the intersections of lines within a 19 by 19 grid. The stones function as fence posts, and are seen to link together to form walls.

    Go is a game of internment, of surrounding and confining.

    During World War II, when battles were being fought over boundaries both geographical and ideological, Poston, Arizona was made a boundary and enclosure: a concentration of 18,000 people, an internment camp for Japanese and Japanese-Americans.
