Work up to enjoy. Breaks in between are mandatory.

In developing economies where we have organized forms of money and commodities, the body seems to be regulated and systematized to better respond to the needs of production. In this case, labor refers not only to working time but also to leisure time, since both are subject to the same economic order. As Susie Orbach argues, the body is gradually transformed into an object to be produced and consumed. The individual’s struggle to cope with this dominant image of the “proper” working body can lead to its alienation and disappearance while forced enjoyment can become painful. In this performance, the distinction between pain and pleasure, which according to Epicurus seems to guide people’s lives, ceases to exist. The artist works non-stop until her body disappears into 10 meters of paper that she persistently paints black with the help of paint in a bucket and a sponge. Short breaks, defined by the audience to drink milk to which she is intolerant, are interspersed throughout her work.
