Equivalent Units is the result of a long series of meeting with dock-workers of the Genova harbour, invited to share through different techniques of engagement (including guided meditation) fundamental aspect of their work and its changes in the last years through automation. The video focus on the complexity of port labour through the restless eye of the commodity in its journey: the container becomes the looking glass through which looking the man and the relationship with the heavy metal. The fast editing of the video suggests the same restless nature of logistics in post capitalist society.
