So many of us work for companies. In doing that, you're either building it up or boiling it down; and if you're not doing that, it's likely the case that you are selling it. Unfortunately that's a reality and not a product or your imagination.
More than just a visual analogy for all those dim aspects to quotidian life as represented here, in various forms of industrial labor that have never the less become insignificant as modern matrices of production, Light Work I (I haven't experienced the film's prequels or any of its sequels like, Light Work II etc), a film that can be viewed instantly on NetFlix, is just that some really good and quality light work.
Because we work all the time, our society will invariably harbor a primitive understanding of a film like this one, orchestrated by Jennifer Todd Reeves; but Light Work I is an instance in which film catches up to painting and achieves aesthetic beauty by way of abstraction.
This isn't the pell-mell editing one discovers in the light work of Stan Brakhage, but Light Work does point out some important observations. For instance: Art is interesting because it begins with human beings just before it's transferred over to a the often chance action of a chemical process. You'll see how all that plays itself out here in Light Work I.
