Labor



Synopsis


Set in south-western Iran, in the province of Khuzestan and bordering with Iraq, Meezan (scale) is an observational and immersive experience, a journey from the sea to the land, about labor at the margins of petro-capitalism in three chapters. Despite the massive industrialization of the region, waterways of Khuzestan remain a significant source of income for the native communities who are most intimately connected to these embattled landscapes. Meezan is a reflection on the relation between bodies and scales to acknowledge the weight of the past and its consequences in the present.
