Summary :
Gabriela Golder makes and records a performative action based on the work "Analog&iacute;a I" (1970/1971), by V&iacute;ctor Grippo, in a single shot in which a flood of potatoes descends the stairs of the cultural centre where the work of Grippo is exhibit. The image recalls cinematic landmarks such as the workers leaving the factory in the Lumi&egrave;re brothers' film, or the Odessa staircase scene in "Battleship Potemkin".<br /><br />"They move full of energy to occupy the streets. It is the social force that generates the movement. The crowd is the social force. There is no possibility to stand still. There is no time to stop."
