The Task

Leigh Ledare’s 2017 feature-length film The Task is a powerful meditation on the complexities and conflicts of community. Shot by a film crew in a single room over several days, the camera observes real-life Tavistock group therapy participants as they work toward the abstract “task" of articulating the conscious and unconscious relationships between the people in the room. As they negotiate their individual positions and try to name complex gender, class, and racial dynamics, they are guided and sometimes thwarted by a set of professional yet inscrutable therapist-consultants. The film’s climax, in which the artist steps out from behind the camera to confront the workshop participants—raising an uproar about crossed boundaries that ultimately leads to the consultants leaving the room silently—raises questions about the power of art making to intervene in and unexpectedly destabilize social structures.
