Artwork description:
Carga de Cuidado translates invisible caregiving labor, predominantly performed by women and girls, into a sensory experience. Activated by visitors, the installation itself remains inaccessible behind a curtain, emphasizing a separation between those who do the labor and those who benefit from it. Through the act of lifting and holding hanging weights, participants’ physical effort is transformed into light and sound, inviting reflection on inequality within care systems.
本作品將主要由女性和女孩承擔的「隱形照護勞動」（invisible caregiving labor）轉化為一種感官體驗。此裝置由觀者啟動，但裝置本身卻被隔絕在簾幕後方無法觸及，藉此強調「承擔勞動者」與「享有利益者」之間的隔離。透過提起並拉住懸掛砝碼的動作，參與者身體付出的勞動被轉化為光與聲音，引導大眾反思照顧體制內的不平等。
