A two-colour risograph publication written, designed, printed, and bound by hand. Taking Barcelona's digital nomad phenomenon as a case study, it expands into a broader reflection on the class illusions late capitalism produces through decentralised labour. Situated within a critical theoretical framework informed by Marxist theory and local scholars, the publication analyses decentralised labour not merely as a geoeconomic practice, but as a reconfiguration of class relations within capitalist reproduction—proposing alternative perspectives toward an international proletarian solidarity.
A crooked and witty research originated from a Master's thesis in Information Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, on what it means to deceive yourself into believing you belong somewhere you are not.
