Film & Art
2019

Director, Writer, Editor & Performer: Eugenia Lim
Cinematographer: Alex Cardy
Choreography: Nat Cursip
Composer: Becky Sui Zhen
Colourist: Chris Tompkins

When installed, this is a pedal-powered work. The viewer is invited to sit on a bicycle to cycle and work up a sweat to activate the work.

Made in collaboration with workers from the gig economy, On-demand is a pedal-powered video work that considers work, labour, solidarity and movement (political and physical) in the neoliberal present. Living and working in 2019 brings precarity, competition and mobility – both for independent artists and ‘independent contractors’ of the gig economy. Self-exploitation, low wages and zero-hour contracts are shared terrain for many workers in both the cultural and service sectors.
