Ausstellung Transcultural Collaboration, 2019

Unemployed Bed Bugs was a durational performance at the 2019 final presentations of Transcultural Collaboration at Toni Areal, ZhdK. (6./7. December 2019)

In a 24/7 society, the need for beds has declined.
Due to the constant demands of work, humans only spend short intervals sleeping on the go. This new phenomenon has made beds obsolete, and therefore the main working environment of bed bugs is disappearing. In the last 10 years, the unemployment rate of the bed bug population has risen to 82.6%. This level was last seen before the invention of beds.
