Gabriela Marciniak – Early Retirement

by Gabriela Marciniak

“When you’re young and slow down, you’re lazy, but when you’re retired and you slow down, you’re happy to slow down”. As soon as we enter the word of adulthood, we realise that our everyday lives revolve around completing one task after another, checking off items from our to-do lists. Days pass in this manner, with the constant pressure of doing and working more. Driven by research, the artist explored early retirement in health resorts, places where we can relinquish control and devote our time to treatment, healing, pleasure and the process itself. There is no rush, no time. Video performance as a form of expression juxtaposes the body with architecture, creating a retirement wonderland. A one-channel movie, video performance, 4k, 16:9 frame

with Bruno Ceschel

The photobook module introduces students to the history of photobooks and artists’ books and leads them to consider different strategies and approaches to contemporary book-making. In the first term students individually conceptualised a publication that have been designed, printed and distributed.
