WORKERS MIKADO

Lisbon, Portugal

December 2023

In Lisbon, workers move through a tangle of scaffolding, silhouettes suspended between sky and steel. The lines intersect like the sticks of a giant game of Mikado, turning the building site into a graphic composition. Workers Mikado reveals the precarious balance of every gesture, the strength of the collective and the unexpected beauty of work in which risk becomes almost an aerial choreography in mid-air.

Voodoo Mama from the film BABYLON

0:000:00

Voodoo Mama, composed by Justin Hurwitz for Babylon, drives the scene into a collective fever. Frenzied percussion, blazing brass and a breathless rhythm give the workers the appearance of acrobats launched into a dangerous dance. The music makes the steel vibrate, quickens their movements and transforms the building site into a wild, hypnotic, all-encompassing spectacle.
