Work-in-Progress: Sublime

Work-in-Progress: Sublime

As CIA, we want to challenge one of the fundamental beliefs of Western societies, namely the focus that our society places on productivity. We constantly need to feel useful and we reject boredom. In a capitalist society, self-worth is strictly linked to the feeling of being productive and we lose sight of what is important to live a fulfilling life. Frustration, lack of motivation and the suppression of human uniqueness arise from the fear of doing nothing.
Using art, a powerful tool for social change, we want to re-evaluate the current definition of boredom. Why do we demonize boredom? Why can’t we just sit quietly with ourselves? By sharing these reflections and interacting with the audience, we want to create awareness that boredom can be a positive and even a sublime feeling.

“Boredom is the most sublime of all human emotions” – Leopardi
