From the author: “Never Work analogue photography was created during the first lockdown, when thousands of people were forced to stop working or continue with the aid of technology. Beyond the obvious scale of global and individual tragedies caused by the pandemic, many people began to see positive changes, such as: investing in local communities, adjusting the balance between leisure and work, getting in tune with nature or finally recognising their needs. I then thought of the slogan <<Ne travaillez jamais>>, written by Guy Debord (1979), a manifesto suggesting that the only viable emancipatory strategy is through solidarity in avoiding working under systemic conditions.”
