WOMEN WORKERS

Symposium

Women’s hands working at machines: these were already guarantees for success in socialist productions back in Dziga Vertov’s day. In the work of Kamieńska, depth of field, facemasks, packed lunches and washbasins are added to the mix, as well as the reflections of those who perform the work. Which indeed ends up coming extremely close to being documentary realism in its purest form.
