The work is based off of three videos that were each found online:
1) A worker giving a tour of the Ain Sokhna container depot in the context of the port strikes.
2) A video released by Sokhna’s terminal operating company (DP World) on the same day that the strikes were centered around the container scanning process. This instructional video, titled “Disappearing Pedestrians”, was made to demonstrate the safety of worker’s visibility.
3) A commercial video (for the company that supplies Sokhna Port with it’s container scanning equipment).

Each of these videos were performatively manipulated, re-recorded, and synchronized with each other when projected in the installation.
