Soundtrack for a short film by Jan de Bruin.
About
China at Work is an observational video portraying Chinese factory workers. Filmed in the periphery of Shanghai it shows detail of individuality within the Chinese Wirtschaftswunder.
Quote: “By doing the same thing the whole day one can only daydream.” The distorted but hopeful soundtrack consists of and refers to classical Chinese music. There is no desire to make a strong statement or set out an opinion with this short film. Rather it is an attempt to briefly put on a stage the individual within the masses. In a philosophical way it weavers around desire.
