Rebound is a critical reflection on our fast-paced, technologized world and its impact on the most valuable human resource: time. The term rebound effect describes the paradox that increased efficiency in using a resource often leads to higher overall consumption. Digital tools are meant to make our lives easier; they promise comfort and time savings. Yet in reality, we feel increasingly stressed and exhausted.
Could it be that in capitalism, efficiency always serves as a reason to do more? In the process, we are already reaching human limits. Conditions such as burnout and depression are on the rise. Instead of freedom and life, we encounter self-optimization and constant availability.
In six works, I explore various aspects of our capitalized existence, in which our time has long since become a commodity—useful, exploitable, rarely our own.

As attention spans dwindle among younger generations, complex ideas and nuanced concepts are increasingly simplified. This shift towards consuming fragmented, repetitive information fails to cultivate genuine understanding. Yet, in a world where time is money and knowledge is treated as a commodity, the rot feels inevitable.
