Aranda’s body of work exists outside the boundaries of the object. Her installations and temporary projects, which often examine social interactions and the role that the circulation of objects plays in the cycles of production and consumption, are intensely site-specific. e-flux Video Rental (2004–07), one of her most widely known works, is a collaboration with artist and curator Anton Vidokle that created an archive of hundreds of artist videos available to the public free of charge; this traveling international project was enhanced by local artists and transformed by different trends and temperaments in each new city. Similarly, her collaborative project with Vidokle and artist Liz Linden, Pawnshop (2007), transformed the New York e-flux storefront into a pawnshop where artworks submitted by artists for cash were sold if not reclaimed in 30 days. This project comments on the complex relationship between artists and the commercial market as well as the socioeconomic position of those businesses in urban communities. Time/Bank (2009–12), another collaboration with Vidokle under the e-flux banner, was an artistically minded online platform that treated time as currency. The project continued the pair’s critique of the capitalist art market while moving into the virtual realm. Her series Portable Graffiti (2006) is a study of the vagaries of context and the mutability of text; spray-painted sayings such as “I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment” and similarly cutting political statements became ambiguous in the different spaces, countries, and social situations in which the works were made.
