The Space-out competition, an event founded by South Korean artist Woopsyang to address burnout, challenges participants to sit quietly for 90 minutes. The unique competition has gained international popularity over the last decade, drawing diverse competitors dressed in costumes representing their jobs. Disqualified for using technology or chatting, participants are monitored by lifeguards and doctors measuring heart rates. With a voting system for crowd favorites, the event simultaneously explores personal struggles with busyness and the power of stillness, making it a fascinating blend of performance art and personal endurance challenge.
I lasted approximately 30 seconds. My ADHD diagnosis at 32 was the natural progression of my life.
The ultimate test of whether I could fight my own nature and embrace nothingness.
A large yellow card is a warning, and a red one is a disqualification.
The competition has been running for more than a decade around the world with a simple proposition: a mini-city of competitors, all dressed as their jobs.
