Since when did being busy become so normal? Shouldn't we decide that for ourselves? Stressed, overworked, busy, we hear these words all around us. Being busy or being too busy seems to have become the norm. But since when? It grabs our attention, fascinates us and makes us curious. Curious about the history, the consequences and especially about looking for a possible way out.

 

We first carried out research – both in the literature and by asking questions to our fellow human beings. We started out with a neutral attitude, some words moved us, others inspired us or we were able to relate to them. During the research process, we asked ourselves the question: what can we learn from each other? Which interactions will work? And which ones won't?

 

We realized that it’s all about you, which is why this installation focuses on you as a human being. It is a place where you can experience who you are in today's society and how this relates to who you would like to be. You can add filters to create space between you and de outside world. How many filters you use depends on how much space you need.
