NAPS

From threads of the humanity’s tale of escalating productivity, NAPS is weaving a soft carpet on which the hyper-stimulated body can rest. The overwhelming exhaustion that can occur during or after a big achievement is seldom welcomed in the public sphere, but in NAPS it finds itself in the very spotlight. The rock concert –the epicentre of the rise and fall of innumerable stars– is now the place to get in contact with our exhaustion and let it develop into a seductive tiredness. A first-class tiredness that dissolves contracted muscles and minds.
