The Comfort Zone

ongoing, since 2024  

We exist in conditions of unbearable stay in the comfort zone.

Survival has become not an adaptation to the environment, but the ability to cope with one’s own stream of thoughts. Ability to cope with your own mood and reflection on the discrepancy between the picture of the real world and the glossy picture in the social media feed. Fatigue from the need to be positive and their own inconsistency with it. Fatigue from productivity, multitasking, and self-improvement.

Delivery couriers are a symbol of our time. They don’t have names. They invisibly take care of us and watch over us, like antivirus in a database. They ensure that you stay in your Comfort Zone, which gradually turns into a Burnout Zone.

I consider this project as a continuation of the theme of the South Korean-German philosopher Byung Chol Han and his research " The Burnout Society “. I use parallels with well-known plots to show the absurdity of the changes that have occurred in the perception of the world.

Is it harmless to form a new addiction?
