LABOR VIDEO OF THE WEEK: Jim Brozek: Lake Boats/Jones Island

Chris Garlock | Published on 10/31/2025
Brozek is featured on this week's Labor Heritage Power.
“Winter Layup” is a slide movie by Jim Brozek combining photographs he took while working on Great Lakes ore boats during their winter layup (1979–1985) with a soundscape of shipboard recordings and studio-created effects. First exhibited in 1986, Brozek reworked it in 2010 to merge sound and image into one immersive portrait of industrial labor.
