24 Blocks of Concrete Constantly Moved During a Day's Work by Paid Workers

A monumental exercise in labor and futility, Sierra's work employs paid workers to endlessly relocate 24 concrete blocks throughout the course of a single workday. The piece exposes the arbitrary nature of wage labor, reducing the act of work to its most elemental and purposeless form. By compensating workers to perform a task devoid of productive outcome, Sierra critiques the power structures that define the relationship between employer and employee.
