Filmed in his Brooklyn studio, Allan McCollum reveals the process and logic behind the project "Over Ten Thousand Individual Works" (begun in 1982). Cast in plaster, hand-painted, and displayed in vast quantities, each "Individual Work" is a unique combination of shapes adapted from commercially-produced objects.
