What do a luxury automobile, a wall clock, and a cymbal have in common? The Unstable Object, is a visually sensual essay on contemporary models of production. Interested in the ways 'things' affect both producer and consumer, Eisenberg travels to a state-of-the-art Volkswagen factory in Dresden, where shoppers look on as their individualized cars are hand-built by specialists; to Chicago Lighthouse Industries, where blind workers produce wall clocks for government offices; and to a cymbal factory in Istanbul, where cymbals are cast and hammered by hand, exactly as they were 400 years ago. Through a series of sequences each highlighting the senses of sight, sound, and touch, The Unstable Object probes relationships our global economy creates between individuals around the world.
