atteniton! attenzione! pozor! atenção! 주의! atención! ความสนใจ! achtung!

The capitalist system convinces us again and again that we as individuals are worth only as much as we are productive. The fruits of this productivity are not important, it is only important that we are productive. Our lives become “projects” that we are constantly improving and upgrading. The system domesticates and tames us by commodifying our body and actions and perceives us as a product that always has room for improvement.

The video intentionally has no story, climax, or obvious red thread. It is a set of shots where nothing happens and together they form a whole in which nothing happens. It focuses primarily on how hyperproductivism and patriarchy affect people who identify as women. How they affect them or don’t. It’s about atmospheres when we just exist.

4sqm is a project that highlights the stark contrast between the limited space in the material world, especially in times of housing crisis, and the seeming infinity of digital worlds – how a person trapped in a four-square-meter room can create vast digital landscapes. It addresses the tendency to explore digital worlds and escape the hardships and limitations of the physical world.
