(excerpt)
The film features a durational exploration of "doing nothing," examining its boundaries and the emotional and physical moments triggered by the experience of creating an intentional void. Axelle Peduzi, the participant featured in the film, sat in a chair for three hours and height minutes, receiving €10.25—calculated based on the Belgian minimum wage. Re-activating the performativity of nothingness, the film’s duration precisely matches the time of Axelle's experience of "doing nothing."
