Jaśmina Wójcik

Workers at the closed-down Ursus tractor factory relive their working lives though re-enactments. The symphony they create is an ode to a passionate community.

Proud workers from the closed-down Ursus tractor factory relive their past through re-enactments. The muscle-memory of the movements they made so often is still in their bodies and combined with the sounds of their work a symphony is formed. An ode to a mega-factory where life was all about community and work.
