YOSHUA OKON All Employees, 2002

All Employees is a project for which Okón went to all the "Carl's Jr" (a chain of fast food restaurants) in Los Angeles and shot brief videos of each one of the employees presenting him/herself behind the counter. The final result is a video in which, one by one, all the employees get layered one on top of the other until many levels get constructed creating an abstract mass. The video is presented as a rear-projection that simulates a counter where the subjects appear life-sized.
