This visual essay uses photographs to present the changes undergone by labour in a typical village of Romania. The images were captured in two stages, in 2004 and in 2017, when the authors attempted re-photographing the same frames representing the pursuit of several occupations. The essay reveals some household chores which did not undergo any change at all, as well as others that disappeared altogether. The essay also reveals the major changes undergone by specialized labour during this 13-year period.
