Potential fragments of work to unfold, fractal and cyclical
Potential fragments of work to unfold, fractal and cyclical is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2019, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
In his short film series ‘24 portraits’, Alain Cavalier records women who have dedicated their lives to manual work, collecting images and testimonies from a world of work in danger of extinction through close-ups of faces, hands, gestures and objects. The short takes up the idea of the registration of manual work and its representation, but within artistic production. Here we can see the actions, methods and ways of seeing of Ana, an artist who is in the initial moment of creating new works.
