Cosecha mecánica

Felix Klee
Germany
3'

Non-playable latinx characters work in endless loops alongside propagandistic praise of cheap Mexican labor. Somewhere on a field a worker sings: Lo que quiero es una máquina lechuguera (All I want is a salad harvesting machine). Cosecha mecánica (“mechanical harvest”) juxtaposes the 1950s US propaganda film „Why braceros?“, contemporary audio field-recordings and background characters of a video game to visually explore how work is reshaped and its value redefined to suit our consumerist needs.
