Adrian Paci’s sensitive gaze enters an aluminum transformation plant to explore the relationship between the workers’ bodies and the factory environment, celebrating the enduring value of labour. Through meticulous observation and perfectly composed framing, Merging Bodies delves into gestures and materials that blur the boundaries between the workers and the machinery. Paci’s hypnotic camera captures details that transcend the immediate context, liberating the visible from a singular interpretation.
