Gute Arbeit

Three women, three migrant fates: Martina commutes at harvest season from Slovakia to the Austrian Marchfeld to work ten hours a day for an agricultural enterprise harvesting asparagus; Julietha from Namibia works at a mountain hostel in the Salzkammergut as a hotel administrative assistant, i.e. as maid, in the kitchen and in the office. Giordana was a lawyer in Bosnia, now she lives and works as janitorial help in a modern housing estate in the Donaucity in Vienna. Karin Macher‘s Gute Arbeit (Good Work) shows these women in their specific life circumstances, taking their individual stories as a phenomenon of everyday life in the contemporary service sector.
