A New Product
Art of the Real 2014
April 11 - 26, 2014
With a light touch, Farocki arranges scenes of awkward office meetings, illustrated with perplexing diagrams and powered by neoliberal buzzwords, into a revelatory black satire of contemporary managerial process. Screening with Just Like Us (Jesse McLean, 15m) and Former Models (Benjamin Pearson, 20m).
At a design consultancy in Hamburg, a new corporate office concept is under development. In long, awkward office meetings, illustrated with perplexing diagrams, senior staff pontificate on the future thriving workplace, one inevitably powered by neoliberal buzzwords like flexibility, openness, and communication. With a light touch, Farocki arranges these scenes into a revelatory black satire of contemporary managerial process.

Benjamin Pearson | USA | 2013 | Digital Projection | 20m
