OWENSCORP, CONCORDIA

I SHOT THIS VIDEO IN CONCORDIA, ITALY, THE WEEK MY FACTORY WAS REOPENED RIGHT AFTER QUARANTINE SANCTIONS WERE LIFTED. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WITH ME FOR ALL OF THE 18 YEARS I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE. THERE HAVE BEEN WEDDINGS, FUNERALS, EARTHQUAKES, AND BABIES. IN THE EARLY YEARS, I SLEPT ON A COUCH IN MY OFFICE SINCE THERE WERE NO HOTELS CLOSE BY, LATER IN A NEWLY OPENED MOTEL OVER A GAS STATION, AND THEN, AFTER 15 YEARS, IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT ACROSS THE STREET. BETWEEN ADMINISTRATION, PATTERNMAKING, CUTTING, AND SEWING DEPARTMENTS, 110 PEOPLE WORK IN THIS CENTER. THIS IS A TYPICAL DAY IN OUR LIVES TOGETHER.
