A site-specific environment made entirely from recycled clothes. A visceral environment where anonymous textile factory workers and contemporary laborers become invisible within the process of mass production of consumer products while the precarious nature of their employment is made infinitely worse by the economic down turn. Following a consumer product through the narrative of the unseen laborer all the while being monitored via audio and video - we don’t know their identity we only know the product they create. There is no delineation in materials used to construct the environment, the workers or the product.
