Workplaces at Night by Anja Hertenberger / Anja Steidinger

â€œWorkplaces at nightâ€ is a three-part project combining performance, investigative research techniques,
and creative imaginings. We are exploring evidence of labour during the absence of the workers.
Is representation of work/labour possible?
While researching we visit workplaces at night with flashlights. We do photographic and video
documentation of the left-over, or unfinished tasks resulting from daytime operations.
What do we learn about work processes by exploring workplaces after the employees have left?
What is production? What are the conditions?
Do we find spaces that are not connected with the context of production?
What is the state â€œof being productiveâ€?
What does the term â€œcreationâ€ mean within the so-called cultural production? Do we find evidence of â€œcultural industryâ€ within workplaces that are not connected with cultural production?

The project consists of three parts
action > visits to different workplaces at night with flashlights and cameras:
lawyerâ€™s office, medical practice, multimedia studio, theater, airport, toy factory, architectural office,
candle factory, barbershop, artistâ€™s studio
publication > presenting recorded material in a catalog and a blog
(text archive and images attempting to define â€œWORKâ€ and â€œPRODUCTIONâ€)
installation > establishing a space to present the material (installation, video, photography, text)

Exploring mobile, occasional, momentary, unlikely and wonderful working spaces. recreating work, working recreation

Part of the work of art is the work of art, that is, the labor, process and methods of production–sometimes the work on work is
sufficient as work. Â Simply showing the work, another strategy–can be seen as Ann Hamilton makes visible her hand. But another method is in redefining the work: redefining what is “office,”Â what is official; what is studio and where to be studious.
