Women at work: Crossroads, rhytms and continuities

Gotxikoa Gallery presents Women at Work: Crossroads, Rhythms and Continuities, a project developed by Flor Firvida and Simona Deaconescu, curated by Alexandra Manole.

The city of Monterrey is known as a highly industrialized area, an economic center where problems such as discrimination, precarious conditions and gender violence are prominent.

In this context, the artists present Women at Work - Crossroads, Rhythms and Continuities in a white cube gallery, reconfiguring the project for the specificities of the space. The artists appropriate the possibilities of the gallery by bringing into dialogue both the final works and the context of the research and additional material.

Women at Work - Crossroads, Rhythms and Continuities, adapts to each new space it inhabits.

The piece invites us to take the time to listen to each of the stories of the 11 women from Mexico City and Bucharest, about how they perceive their bodies in various working conditions, enabling a dialogue situated between the labor realities faced by the bodies of these women from Eastern Europe and Latin America.

From an anthropological and cinematographic character, the artists compose each narrative from fragments projected on multiple synchronized screens; and the voices of the women interviewed are the common thread that accompanies visitors in an immersive atmosphere.

Each of the 11 videos presents the story of Maria, Candelaria, Geta, Cassandra, Petra, Larisa, Elvira, America, Billie Rose, Nina and Gabi. Their interviews are filmed in a minimalist and direct manner. The bodies in the work are filmed in a deconstructed manner, using a slow motion cinematographic technique that translates organic movement into a particular gestural choreography.
