Productivity - Studio Rehearsals assembles a series of seven performances staged by Ramiro Guerreiro in his atelier in Lisbon and in the studio he later occupied in Berlin. In each of them the artist set up a camera with a timer: moving back and forth between the machine, to reset it, and the space of his performance, he becomes alternately the operator and the character of the scenes. The sequences nonetheless produce the impression of a natural flow, in which the interruptions caused by the mechanics disappear. Dressed in a grey lab coat, the character moves among papers, cloth, ladders and cardboard tubes in a workshop-like universe, carrying out with method and dedication tasks whose purpose remains an open question.
