9 to 5 corporate sunset part of ‘Please RSVP’
(2025)
manipulated parking discs, chapters from a book ‘Why Losing your Job Could Be The Best Thing Ever Happened to You: Five Simple Steps to Thrive after Redundancy’ by Eleonora Tweddel, gradient sunrise and sunset blades.
A group exhibition about pleonasms—the curious, the attendant, the superfluous act of repetition that sneaks into language and meaning. In a world fueled by efficiency, pleonasms represent something that doesn’t quite fit the system with their excessiveness, but they reveal something essential; a desire to reinforce, to underline, to return to the point of departure again.
“End result.” Redundant or unnecessary? Yes. But also kind of revealing.
- Heidi Holmström
9 to 5 corporate sunset comments on the lifestyle where a week is divided by 5 to 2 and days 9 to 5. What happens between the sunrise and the sunset really? When sun sets on one part of the globe, it rises on the another. As an infinite loop, we live, it might be important to think how we spend the days captivated in the everturning circularity of the blade, a clock, a time. Is it possible to mark a point of arrival - like you do in a parking disc when you arrive to a certain place?
chapters:

2. stuck
