Blending circus and hints of Magie Nouvelle, Cirquemétrage oscillates between unsettling realism and moments of absurd beauty in a sharp caricature of our productivity driven system. Drawing from the striking aesthetics of 1980s cinema, the space itself transforms alongside the protagonist, mirroring their internal struggle; a confined, oppressive world that shifts and distorts.
A phone rings. Again. And again. A woman clocks in, clocks out, one day after another.
The fluorescent hum of the office sets the rhythm, a heartbeat dictated by routine.
Work defines us, but it can also drain us.
