BEN HAYOUN Laura

Deliver

France

2017

Laura Ben Hayoun followed home deliverers, shot them with a smartphone. She and the deliverers had the same tools – a bike and a phone – but they used them in different ways.

Their gestures and uniform testify in their own way about a contemporary taylorism. The repetition is accompanied by moving flows of new technologies, where precariousness of employment falsely looks like freedom.
