Geometry of Labor. 2011. Installation at Sala Poliglota, Proyecto ACE, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Relief print on chipboard, cardboard construction, lenox paper and metallic paper tape.

The artists' labor is a surrogate experience used to explore and exaggerate the disparate, yet similar, way of life within a multi-class system. Drawing from her observations as an outsider in Buenos Aires, the artist investigates the production, distribution, and final disposition of material goods. She simulates cottage industry in terms of making, presents multiple modes of commerce from high-end design shop to unlicensed street vendors, and finally upcycles the entire installation with the aid of the cartoneros, local collectors and resellers of cardboard.
