Synopsis

« D’une simplicité vivifiante, Work done a été tourné à Florence et dans les Alpes, et célèbre une Europe archaïque. De la contemplation d’une voûte en pierre refroidie par des blocs de glace à la reliure manuelle d’un ouvrage épais ou la friture d’un délicat mets local, Beavers s’intéresse aux activités humaines sans s’attarder sur les protagonistes humains. Comme beaucoup de films de Beavers, Work done repose sur une série d’équivalences qui transforment les textures : l’atelier et le champ, le livre et la forêt, le monticule de pavés et une montagne au loin. » Jim Hoberman, The Village Voice

“Bracing in its simplicity, Work done was shot in Florence and the Alps, and celebrates an archaic Europe. Contemplating a stone vault cooled by blocks of ice or handstiching of a massive tome or the frying of a local delicacy, Beavers considers human activities without dwelling on human protagonists. Like many of Beavers’ films, Work done is based on a series of textural transformative equivalences: the workshop and the field, the book and the forest, the mound of cobblestones and a distant mountain.” Jim Hoberman, The Village Voice
