Nico Mureș: The Office After Dark

Sandwich presents “The Office After Dark” an exhibition by Nico Mureș. In a world obsessed with productivity Mureș, explores the shadowy side of corporate life—an endless night where energy fades, connections dissolve, and personal identity is eroded by work’s relentless demands.
The artist crafts a microcosm around the metaphor of a modern worker: caffeine-fueled, emotionally drained, and vampirically reliant on energy drinks. Trapped in cycles of burnout and sleep deprivation, she bears the crushing weight of a life spent producing without meaning. As a corporate woman, she faces added pressure to prove her worth, with a glass ceiling that feels closer than ever.
Cockroaches, symbols of survival in hostile environments, embody this struggle. Skittering beneath desks and flickering lights, they reflect the unseen, undervalued workforce that must endure at any cost, revealing the instability beneath the polished corporate facade.
Amid this undead landscape, visitors are invited to confront their own place in the haunting, ceaseless grind of the after-dark office.
