Transcript

00:00 Each skull of this necklace symbolizes the death of a worker.

00:03 I was looking for a new work to present to you,

00:07 and I thought it might be interesting to talk about a recent work.

00:10 As this weekend, France is going to play its third star,

00:13 I thought about the World Cup.

00:15 Although tragic, the work of the Danish James Goldschiott caught my eye.

00:20 Named #Qatar6500 and composed of 6500 miniature skulls,

00:25 this necklace is the funest symbol of the 6500 migrant workers who died between 2011 and 2020

00:30 for the construction of new infrastructures,

00:32 such as stadiums and roads for the 2022 World Cup.

00:35 The heat, combined with excessive working hours and a lack of access to care,

00:40 would have led to cardiac arrest and kidney problems.

00:43 Also, despite the eagerness for the final,

00:47 it seemed relevant to me to have at least one thought,

00:50 as fleeting as it is, for the families of these victims.
