In 24/7 : Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep, Jonathan Crary argues that the current system doesn’t just claim your time, but aims to eradicate rest itself. Beyond questioning a “Right to Sleep” — a right from which thousands of people are excluded daily — this performance challenges the way spaces and their functions have been compartimentalized.

Space is emotional, but also political.
Confronting the soft, malleable skin to the rigid infrastructure of the urban world is a contact. Between the living and the inanimate. Movement and enclosure. The self and the system.

By relaxing in the most bizare and uncomfortable positions, this performance invites to reconsider our ties to the surrounding structures, using once again body and presence as tools.

"By remaining inanimate in a public space, I want to blur the lines between presence and objecthood, embodying the perpetual tension between discomfort and relaxation that lies at the core of our current system.
It is because my presence has no purpose that it is purposeful."
