Clerk records the movements of a clerk's figure as he stamps stacks of papers in the manner of an automaton. Seemingly a perfect stamper, he regularly slows down and makes mistakes but carries on with maddening calmness. The video shows the alienating but also humane aspects of labor in post-industrial societies.
