NAP ALL DAY, SLEEP ALL NIGHT, PARTY NEVER
Author: Anneke DʼHollander Client: Anneke DʼHollander Designer: Luca Napoli Pages: 48 Format: 186 x 220 mm Year: 2017 Price: € 10,00 In this photobook, Anneke D’Hollander investigated the interior of an apartment that seems inhabited by the phantom presence of its dweller. By abstracting the look book format, this publication documents the traces of a remote connection between the kingdom of virtual reality and a domestic landscape. It shows the so-called “SlothLife” lifestyle in an intriguing, yet confronting way. “…someone who is living the SlothLife went through many years of fine-tuning the art of doing absolutely nothing, even though it appears shit's getting done. A senior sloth has very minimal care and kicks back by spending life for what very little they feel like doing. Once you’re living the sloth life, all you need to worry about is where your next meal comes from, and who's bringing it to you.”
