I spent three days at the Venice Biennale in 2015. That translates as seeing at least a thousand pieces of art. This is one of the handful I remember the most.

It was part of an installation in the Arsenale, Republican Venice's shipyard and the largest pre-industrial production centre in Europe.

You walked past a factory bench with pearls, round a corner and into the room this was showing on a loop. (Dead link to vimeo.com/223284743 removed...)

Watch for the bubbles, stay for the weirdness.

CW: contains cruelty to oysters and factory work.

Update2: Try here for extended extracts of three of her films, including this one. You may notice some themes in common :)
