This Isn't Working

Sleep, Eat, Work, Repeat. Grind culture comes with an endless cycle of being busy for the sake of being busy. You're expected to work without limits (and sometimes without a point) at the expense of your well-being. For many, this leads to a constant deep exhaustion that no hot yoga class, meditation app or weekend getaway can fix. This Isn’t Working is an invitation to reflect on this mindset through object-based storytelling presented in a multimedia installation. Everyday objects associated with productivity have been humorously manipulated to illustrate the absurdity of grind culture and the toxic conditions that sustain it.
