El empeño latinoamericano (1998)

Film Konusu

Reflecting on decades of economic fallout from the Pinochet regime, Rosenfeld used surveillance footage from a pawn shop in Santiago where customers sold their jewelry to pay off debts. The video's pace signals the dizzying circulatio of commodities. The artist's soundtrack of guttural vocalizations could imply strenuous efi or intense bodily pleasure. The title stresses tha a pawn is both a powerless player and a pledge! to an exhausting financial system with an insatiable greed for more.
