Curated by Wim Bosch
Despite the constant presence of technology in our daily lives, utopian predictions of replacing human resources with robot alternatives have yet to materialise. Instead of simply facilitating various processes and freeing up more time, technology has increased the pace of life beyond reason, forcing us to keep up. We hear more and more about burnout, panic attacks, depression, and various emotional disorders that have come about as a side effect of a pace of life that is too fast for us. They directly affect our abilities and our quality of life, and are reflected in the environment, in our decisions and attitudes. The scene of the installation Work Work Work is designed to be a visual allegory for the endless rush of the modern world, the eternal lack of time, and the consequences that this has on our mental wellbeing. It is a gentle reminder to take better care of ourselves and set the dates for a vacation immediately.
