Who are the people that the capitalist machinery needs to keep running and generating profit? Who are the ones required for a functioning civil society?
Together with various artists, Susi Rogenhofer brings workers into the spotlight, making them visible and their work audible.
Images and sounds of work become part of an audiovisual staging. Complemented by narratives, they provide insights into different worlds and realities of work.
In cinematic portraits, the motif of workers is brought into the present. On the acoustic level, the idea of 21st-century workers’ music is explored. The project was launched in Austria in 2021 and performed, among others, with musicians from Klangforum Wien, FM Einheit, Gischt, and Chra. It was later expanded internationally, with recordings in Mexico and Namibia.
