”Dybbroe Møller’s characters have lost any truly creative ability. More upsettingly, they are reflections of his audience… It’s us. We’re the ones caught in this perfect trap of digital capitalism.”

Today, @kunstkritikk brings their review of Simon Dybbroe Møller’ exhibition, where Andreas Schlaegel writes:

”The title of Simon Dybbroe Møller’s mid-career survey, Thick & Thin, suggests a formal investigation into sculpture. But the artist’s reflections on labour hit much harder.”

Experience Simon Dybbroe Møller's video series inspired by Richard Scarry's children's book about the busy working life.

As part of the exhibition Thick & Thin, experience Simon Dybbroe Møller's work 'What Do People Do All Day' (2019) – a contemporary update to Richard Scarry’s 1968 children’s book of the same name. Replacing the original’s drawings of cute animals doing people-things in industrious and purposeful Busytown with real-life people in working situations, Dybbroe Møller juxtaposes Scarry’s idealistic “everybody is a worker” ethos with the “everything is work” reality. 

'What Do People Do All Day' can be experienced in our cinema until 11 August.
