Belgium - Hasselt - Work art installation and actor

An actor plays the part of an office worker, toiling away at a desk-top PC while outside in the courtyard of the Z33 art gallery in Hasselt, Limburg Belgium. The lady artist sits typing at an imaginary work station with jackets hanging on a coat stand and with her area marked out in sand on the gravel. This incongruous scene is played out during the gallery's 'Werk Nu' (Work Now) exhibition that reflected upon the concept and meaning of ‘work’ in our present society, with issues such as flexibility, mobility, motivation, significance, and the work-life balance are dealt with. The art works in ‘Work Now’ are direct or ambiguous, whimsical.
