Frequencies

Thomas R Peeters (2018, 13')

In a grey, nondescript, factory-like workplace, a team of grey - uniformed employees dutifully fulfil a monotonous job. Their repetitive work routine allows them to escape their physical presence. This experimental short - hyptnotic and meditative in its execution - aims to tackle the meaning(lessness) of our socially constructed network of labour by reducing our impressions and the notion of employement to their most basic iterations.
