Work, health, and well-being are often shaped by corporate culture, where productivity is framed as the ultimate goal. Marketing sells self-care as empowerment, linking bodily efficiency to success. Even in the workplace, people are expected to optimize themselves, not just their output. Drip Drop Work is a video and installation that explores this obsession with self-improvement. Through absurd performances and fictional products, it exaggerates the way marketing turns basic human needs into commodities. Sweat, a fundamental bodily function, becomes both a metaphor and a visual tool, revealing how even our bodies are folded into economic logic. By magnifying these contradictions, the work questions the ideals hidden in everyday products and asks how they shape our understanding of health, work, and self-worth.
