Alexandru Salceanu (US/RO)

The video “Expedited Labor” by American-Romanian artist Alexandru Salceanu delves into the global movement and exploitation of migrant workers within the food industry, a system heavily reliant on their low-wage labor.

By visually depicting food waste alongside stamps marking global distribution, Salceanu underscores both the exploitation of workers and the inefficiencies of the global food system. The video also prompts viewers to reflect on their own role within this cycle of waste and exploitation.
