The performance is a commentary on performative productivity in the age of social media.
System: During the agreed time frame, which can be adjusted, a person lies there wrapped in a white comforter and does nothing or only enough so that the person can remain in a comfortable position. This person embodies performative idleness as a silent protest against performative productivity. The second person documents this idleness with the help of a Polaroid camera with 30 pictures. The time interval in which the pictures have to be taken is calculated, the details of how the pictures have to be taken are fixed, the sequence is determined by a random generator. The resulting pictures are stuck on/to the person lying down.
