Description:

The job environment is a recurrent device or installation in Daniel Farioli’s performances.

Here he is wearing white overalls, his face is covered with (gray) clay, his mouth is protected by a mask, one eye is equipped with a surgical looking tool, he's composing, altering, diverting materials, objects, he is making art in a homemade or industrial manner for everyone to see.

In fact the installation stages someone at his job. Which directly references the spirit of CALIBRE 33.
