Whether it be a distraction, a calling, a plight, work often takes up a lot of space in our day and our head – also, if not more so, when it is missing. Finding a job, keeping it, speaking about it. But what (is it) exactly (that) are we talking about?
Work can be all at once, what gives rhythm to our life – even when the tone is dull –, establishes our social relations, and sometimes enriches us. Moreover, since the beginning of the pandemic, work has infiltrated even our most intimate living spaces.
A three-season deep dive and fourteen episodes into "work".
