SLOTH PALM: An Ode to Procrastination Purgatory

 Directed, written, produced, performed and edited by the human formerly known as Adam Kenner.

Sloth Palm is a visual poem about getting lost in the nostalgic sauce of depression and how to accept pain as comfort and pleasure.  An ode to mindless media consumption presented through the rose-colored lens of an internet-addicted couch potato.

Sloth Palm is a visual poem about a man named Sloth who is an avid consumer of internet media.

A mosaic-like amalgamation of self-loathing internet horror doused in a comical nostalgia sauce.
 
Visuals that seek to capture the absurdity of self-indulgence.  Finding pleasure and comfort in laziness; Captured in a world where procrastination is most seductive when wrapped in plush material.  Accompanied by a poem read in Hebrew.

The “Lived In” collection by Leah Galkin

Drawing inspiration from abandoned furniture found on the street. The collection consists entirely of upholstery fabric and materials, most of them vintage, and is designed to look and feel like furniture for the body.

Anywhere at anytime the journey towards simulated ascension of avatar-self in the psyche of kaleidoscopic media brings us closer to high-fructose nirvana dreams.

The self-induced bliss of procrastination purgatory.
