Liliana Porter is one of the most significant figures in Argentinian contemporary art.

Porter incorporates her collections of figurines and antique toys as a means of representing the mundanity of everyday life. In Trabajo Forzado [Forced Labour], the miniature figure, seemingly shoveling earth from the shelf onto an outsized heap below speaks to the existential futility of our day-to-day activities.
