Jacqui’s interest in the politicization of time takes form through poetic exploration of repetition, narrative, delegation and physical activity. Working in video, photography, performance, and writing, her work seeks to establish a relationship with the temporalities of communication, labour and repetition. Her current research focuses on post-work politics, laziness, and practices of alternative temporal relations to our current understanding of work from a western perspective.
