Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of the performative installation «Still- The economy of waiting», work by German artist Julian Hetzel. This project addresses specific issues related to the mechanisms in labour productivity and work ethics. Taking as a starting point post-Fordist production models, Hetzel observes the current transformation of the idea of 'work' into the notion of 'occupation'. While 'labour and work' concepts have been oriented towards a productive model that pursues specific results and objectives, the concept 'occupation' focuses on activity as a process, that is, its purpose is none other than to remain busy, thereby raising a temporary counter-model with which to generate a gap in the flow of capitalist circulation.
