about

This work consists of 162 “thanks” from customers to whom I delivered food during my employment at Thuisbezorgd (Takeaway) between May and October 2020.

I recorded the moment the food was handed over to the customer, accompanied by their “thank you” (in Dutch translation, Dank je wel). For this eavesdropping activity, I used binaural microphones placed in my ears so that the customers wouldn’t notice they were being recorded.

The work responds to the surveillance mechanism applied by corporations and companies, which have the power to monitor and record every movement of their employees and evaluate them according to their performance. Intimate encounters with customers are something they haven't had any interest in recording yet, unless they're using outdated pigeon drones.
