Interspersed with portraits of contemporary union leaders, this series seeks to interrogate the
constructed nature of organised labour, alluding to the immense workings of power defined
by a nineteenth century
ideology, as well as the hidden decision making process that occurs within the spatial confines of these buildings.
Da Corte emphasizes the theatricality, and even the wonderful absurdity, of daily rituals and how they
construct and reflect our dreams and
ideologies: a young woman shops for shiny, brilliantly hued objects with the help of an attendant on stilts as a skateboarder rolls
by; three bare - chested young Adonises play beer pong, and a mummy sings karaoke against a Matisse mural.
