During the hours of 17:00-00:00, Viltė Bražiūnaitė and Tomas Sinkevičius are usually found commuting, eating and staring into screens. This is the time of after work, where lazy minds wander through labyrinths of nature stock images, shiny surfaces, Globish, chatbots, left- and right- wing politics. These are the hours of low vitality in which mind-wandering occurs, and these gentle cognitive strolls unfold through the video timeline like inattentive daydreams.
The gap that opens up between the two economies of time, the life goes on at a different pace in the place you have temporarily left behind, mind-wandering, manual labor and its repetitive movements construct the sequence of the video essay Afterwork. The dreamy voice narrates the video essay is a character composed from poetry, chatbots, song lyrics and posts by Eastern European migrant workers in Facebook groups. He leads the viewer through a collage of glossy imagery of sleek car parts, nature documentary, with the suggestion of an accelerated present.
