「反復とフラストレーション(Repetition and Frustration)」
「Office bitches」は、資本主義の集中的な労働システムやルーティンワーク、そして抑圧の場としてのオフィスに疑問を投げかける物語です。
未来がなく、今後も変化しないという考えにとらわれて生きている世代の、繰り返しとフラストレーションの感覚。
そして何よりも、あまり語られることのない、誰もが感じたことのある拒絶についてのストーリーです。
‘Office bitches’ is a story that questions the intensive work system of capitalism, routine, and the office as a place of oppression.
The feeling of repetition and frustration of a generation that lives trapped in the idea of no future and denaturation.
Above all, it talks about rejection, that concept that is so little talked about and that we have all felt.
This series is inspired by Japanese street photography, post-apocalyptic science fiction films and the experimental universe of David Lynch or Michael Haneke.
