IDLE envisions an alternative future for humanity: in a post-apocalyptic landscape, a humanoid being dances around while housekeeping robots tirelessly perform their tasks and unintentionally create works of art. The text recited by a voice-off is based on Kazimir Malevich’s Laziness as the Real Truth of Mankind (1921). The film transforms a visionary pavilion structure built by German architect Ulrich Müther in Binz, Germany (1981), into a futuristic home.
