The video depicts an intervention performed by artist Josh Wirz at the Shell Annual General Meeting, recorded with a hidden camera. We see audience members' backs and security guards moving. Wirz stands in the middle of the auditorium, speaking into a microphone. The speech is constructed from fragments of sentences spoken by the Shell board during the meeting—puzzling Shell CEO Andrew Mackenzie.
