'Luxury of Life'. A Short Film by The New Normal Researchers

By Katya Sivers, Alexey Orlov, Leo Stuckardt, Ivan Puzyrev, Lukáš Likavčan, Anna Tokareva

What will we do once we don’t have to work anymore? How will we evaluate our life activities once they are detached from the simplistic standard of productive labour? Using a craft of fishery as a metaphorical device for understanding activities divested of any productive aim, “Luxury of Life” presents a visual essay analysing temporality of unproductive leisure, pointing at possibilities of meaningful translation of our contemporary leisure activities into a speculative context of post-work society. The major condition of such a “retirement of humanity” is automatization of labour, which is visually represented through machinic environments that surround human beings immersed in a simple enjoyment of the “luxurious squandering of energy”, that fishing as such is. While being mainly meditative and observatory, the essay endorses the calm lifestyle of fishermen and celebrates the subtle aesthetics of waiting, thus approaching fishery as a viable template for post-work lifestyles. Living without need for productive labour opens up new spaces for progressive and experimental articulation of our identities, drifting away from stable categories of nation, race or gender.
