I am a filmmaker and set designer.

The short movie doesn't have a real plot but it speaks to the public through the power of images in a mysterious way, not trying to lead anywhere but letting the emotions arise from the sounds and scents in a synesthetic experience. A symbolic an

- Of-Labour SystemsOf-Labour Systems is a fictional narrative—albeit one that is merely a slight exaggeration of the spaces and cultures of work and fitness already present today, which value our voluntary exhaustion as a precious commodity. Eve, a young, eager millennial worker, is subject to a routine for better physicality in the context of a contemporary co-working space. The installation uses speculative objects, technologies, and social structures to explore the physical and ethical boundaries of fitness cu
