Exhibition 19 is a multiple portrait that explores how women have been represented concerning work and the lack of women's own iconography. Workspaces and bodies are shown, on the one hand, complying with the canons of what has historically been the idea of the “virtuous woman”; on the other hand, disobeying and making visible other ways of being.

The video is composed of several layers. On the one hand, the images “in suspension” show acts of waiting, repeated gestures, or fragmented behaviors, which lack a concrete meaning concerning an action. On the other hand, the stealthy narrative mechanism. Esoteric crystal objects, a confidential and extravagant celebration around a fountain, and strange rituals become the means to assume the idea of community and, at the same time, constitute a delicate crack exposed on the surface of the public space.
