How powerful is laziness? How powerful is waiting? At a time when chronological time, that of the watch, imposes itself on time “to”, that of the heart, a giant plush sloth, completely useless even as a plush toy, is there, waiting for us. Which is to say waiting for nothing. A pink plush sloth following us, invisible, while we wait. And showing itself at the right moment to remind us that waiting is not the same as despairing. Shaped up as an immersive installation, Haiku is a eulogy to sloth (animal) and laziness (capital), which are both endangered.
