En ansträngning, flera suckar / One effort, many sighs video, 21 min, 2022
This project is inspired by human effort when building on unstable ground. Excavating mud creates movement, while attempts to stabilize and prevent mudslides often worsen the problems we aim to solve. The video shows a group shaping bricks using a segmented wooden frame. As the group forces mud into uniform shapes, the rigid dynamics of production emerge, revealing tensions between labor, constraints, and mud’s unpredictability. The act is repeated until all the mud is shaped.
