Piccola anatomia di corpi al lavoro

Overview

The four directors build the narrative around these repetitive movements: moving objects, operating machinery, digging holes and laying foundations. The workers' bodies follow a precisely timed routine, leading the viewer to question what an artistic gesture is. This routine is interrupted by the metamorphosis of the images, as the workers' silhouettes detach themselves from reality to become two-dimensional projections on a screen. The conventional meaning usually given to manual labor is subverted, taking on an entirely new significance.
