An Unsatisfying Metaphor (2020)

Who gets to imagine the world? And who must care for it after?

Documentary about the history of 20th century globalization through the lens of the World Trade Organization's changing art collection; from works of human subjects showcasing the potential of dignified labor, to their replacement with abstract maps and grids for the valorization of the modern trade system.
