Rottenberg's videos and installations interweave documentation with fiction, and often feature protagonists in factory-like settings who manufacture goods ranging from cultured pearls to millions of brightly colored plastic items sold wholesale in Chinese superstores. The exhibition reveals the relationship between individual actions, mechanical modes of production, and global economies.
