Room for a Break
Böök Laura
Exploring changes in our working lives through everyday spaces, the documentary short film depicts breaks in a think tank, a construction site container, a museum, and a midwives’ break room, among others. A break expands into a question of space and time: who can take one, in what kinds of settings breaks occur, and who decides on them?
