"Bending over backwards", "split in two", "in over your head", "up to your neck in it". The language we use to describe modern working life speaks directly to the body.
This photography and moving image series explores what it means to go to work as a woman under contemporary capitalism. Translating familiar workplace idioms into visual form, the work gives physical shape to the pressures, expectations and contradictions imposed on the female body. As you move through this digital installation, all videos play simultaneously. We encourage you to experience them with the sound on, allowing the overlapping audio to create a sense of overload that mirrors the relentless demands of modern working life.
