An ironic and derisory project on modern life. Based on the work/rest combination, it is meant as a reflection on the human condition. This installation draws on the image of a hamster wheel, and it plays the very same role, if it is used by more than one person. One person running on the wheel, in fact, generates a movement that rocks another person lying in a hammock connected to the mechanism.
