PROPOSAL

(Mechanical, physical) repetition as allegory for labour.

WHY

The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
