RASPBERRY DAYS

En poetisk fortelling om arbeidsutvandring, dvs. å plukke bringebær i Norge. Doroszuk fokuserer på den estetiske opplevelsen, bildene av vakker natur og ritualet i fruktplukking, som også synes å marginalisere den medfølgende fysiske anstrengelsen.

Poetic narrative about labour emigration – picking raspberries in Norway. Doroszuk focuses on the aesthetic experience, the image of beautiful nature and the ritual of fruit picking, which seems to marginalize the accompanying physical effort.
