Self-occupied is a research-based practice of Paul Slot, aiming to provide a critical reflection on the rapid pace of modern culture by investigating modes of production, making techniques and makers as well as objects and their role in popular culture. Utilizing hands-on, thinking-through-making, embedded research methods and operating on the timeline between tradition and trends. Alter-ego’s serve Slot as a way to dissolve his own identity and hack into other roles. Testing the boundaries of the field while at the same time experimenting with his own capacities to magnify the relationship of man with his work.
