The Exhausted Activist Project with Vishnu Vardhani is centred around setting up a pop-up nap cafe, a space for people to rest but which also challenges the perceived norms of 'work-hours' in order to bring back the culture of taking naps and resting. The purpose of this project is to investigate the neuro-politics of rest and especially sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Exhausted Activist project aims to consider several questions about how we deal with rest as a society, namely:

Can reparations for people match the rapidity of technological growth?

Can rethinking rest in times of high productivity lead to a boom?

Can doing nothing become a rebellion to the ideologies of capitalism?

How do passive bodies rest?

Can self-care and un-work be tools for mental health?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the 41 hours of performance, the artist will explore the conflict between public and private, openness and enclosure.

This episode of the project approaches to confront “on show,” as a private activity becoming almost performative. Still and all the security of the locked gate allows for a moment of solitude, reflection and a chance to relax in the gallery.
