This Isn’t working | Studio Sophia Schullan

With This Isn’t Working, Sophia Schullan presents a reflection on ‘grind culture’ at BASE Milano. In grind culture, achieving professional goals, being productive and building a successful career take precedence over personal well-being. The multimedia installation consists of a projection and five metal shelves that form a deconstructed office space. Objects associated with productivity have been adapted to show the absurdity of grind culture. The work is inspired by the maker’s personal experiences of overworking and the fatigue that brings. The aim is to create awareness about the toxic effects of grind culture in a light-hearted way.
