The video follows the everyday activity in a office building in Stockholm. Shot in secret from a distance during dark hours, Lundin gathered material for several weeks that was later edited into a 27 minute continuous dolly shot; events happening simultaneously in the video may actually have no temporal concurrency at all and in truth be months apart. The result becomes a condensed reality in which time and space have been manipulated. Lundin is not particularly interested in the office workers doing the 9-5, rather, they represent all of us, turning our gaze inwards: How is it that we choose to live our lives?
