The title Distressed refers not only to desperate working conditions and the condition of the workers, but maybe even to one actual product of textile- the sought after and fashionable „distressed denim". Jeans that are supposed to look used and worn out. In some sort of twisted logic people in rich countries, from where textile factories have been pushed in the competition for the cheapest labour, wear ripped jeans. They uncousciously show the true character of the conditions of its production. As if they were transparents of the impoverished, hung on the naked bodies of the narcissists of the richer part of the worlds.
