Drawing on the experience of Argentinian workers who occupied shuttered factories and set up self-management systems in the early 2000s, the artist proposes a discussion on present-day working conditions and the potential for collective construction. Images and audio recordings of workers involved in the occupations and in factory cooperatives can be seen and heard throughout the videos, as well as in the printed newspapers which were part of the original installation. The piece was awarded the Grande Prêmio for the 21st Sesc_Videobrasil Contemporary Art Biennial (Estado da Arte – Eletrica Cinema e Video award).
