IDLE focuses on an alternate future for humanity. A praise of idleness, the film follows a humanoid being in a post-apocalyptic landscape dancing and enjoying leisure while housekeeping robots do their job and unintentionally create works of art. A voice reads out a text based on Kazimir Malevich’s Laziness as the Real Truth of Mankind (1921). The film transforms the visionary pavilion structure by German architect Ulrich Müther located in Binz, Germany from 1981 into a futuristic home.
