Arnaud Wohlhauser

How to appear busy

How to appear busy is a workshop focusing on the specific skills required to pretend to be busy. While looking at different strategies, ranging from active sabotage to everyday coping mechanisms, we will share personal experiences and knowledge on the act of performing work.

The workshop will not be filmed, and contributions will remain anonymous.

Arnaud Wohlhauser is an artist and writer who lives in Zurich. Observing everyday human activities, his work aims to bring together heterogenous worlds and stories.
