(THE SACRIFICE)
In The Sacrifice, Goldbard presents us with a piece composed by both audiovisual and physical elements, showing the process of how the protagonist (a truck) is refusing to be destroyed, only to then being transformed into a sculpture by cranes and other machines controlled by an invisible power and then presented in a gallery as a trophy.
