I spend most of my time in a state of blissful unemployment, which is periodically interrupted by the unfortunate need to access goods and services. In an attempt to proliferate this blissful unproductivity, I’ve wasted my time making an anti-work print. I hope it contrubutes to denaturalising work – opening it up to critical discussion and thinking about why we work. “Why, at the pinnacle of society’s productive development, is there still thought to be a need for everybody to work for most of the time?” (Frayne, 2015, p. 13).
Am I just a privelaged white guy? Yes. But that doesn’t make meaningless labour not shit.
