A House the Size of a Coffin:Such spaces already exist in Asia under various names. What is the true value of living in just 1.4 square meters?
The phenomenon of coffin houses is gradually becoming a normalized condition, one in which human beings lose the right to truly live and are instead transformed into productive machines—stacked, stored, and contained—while the value of life itself continues to rise.
The irony reaches its peak when the comparison turns to the grave. In countries such as Greece, where cemetery costs are among the highest in Europe, the price of purchasing a family burial plot can often exceed the value of an apartment in Athens.
The questions that emerge are:
Do we work in order to live, or in order to purchase our own death? Could the life we are living already be a form of burial? What conclusions can be drawn from this reality? How much must a person work and save in order to afford the absolute minimum required merely to survive? Has life itself become a living death, at a time when even conventional death has become a privilege?
This performance does not seek to judge or comment. Instead, it asks Artificial Intelligence to calculate spatial dimensions and economic values, allowing the numbers to speak for themselves.
