Linda Weiss: swift (relentless structure), 2008-2022, video and sound, 75:00 min

The starting point for the video piece “swift (relentless structure)“ are nine photographs taken at the SWIFT office in New York after a bump into an African-American Wall Street professional in 2007 and a remeeting in New York during Occupy Wall Street protests. The work questions the relationship between the socio-economic elites, racism and class structures and its context. It is intended as an empowerment message, and as such is to be discussed by its recipients.
