Always Ready explores the disappearance of thousands of Chinese cardboard books used to form ideological imagery for the mass games (the Spartakiads) and the 1st of May events in Albania, both of which took place during the communist regime of Enver Hoxha. Enormous gatherings of students, arranged in a pattern, held these large cardboard books over their heads, thereby forming magnificent propaganda imagery, often of factories, or fists. These gatherings and images served a dual function of inspriing and also disciplining the citizens of a terrorized and isolated nation. The books were imported from China.
