Afterwork

Video, HD, sound, 6 min, 2016

The gap created between the two economies of time, where life is lived at a different pace in the place you have temporarily left behind, mind-wandering and repetitive movements of manual labour construct the sequence of the video essay “Afterwork”. A dreamy video narrator is a character composed of poetry excerpts, lyrics, chatbot texts and posts by migrant Eastern European workers in a Facebook group for Norway-based Lithuanians. The narrator leads the viewers through a collage of glossy imagery of sleek car parts, a nature documentary, with the suggestion of an accelerated present.
