Foor your own good, Banjamin Francis, 2026
We are proud to share that For Your Own Good by Benjamin Francis will premiere at CINEMA TICK TACK, from the 1st to the 15th of August 2026. The two-week screening is part of the Together programme, a joint initiative of Antwerp-based artists and art spaces in support of the Pride 2026.
For Your Own Good was developed at On_Off_Space in Antwerp as part of the residency program at De Singel Arts Centre. For Your Own Good explores how ideas surrounding care and hygiene function as mechanisms of social control within capitalist systems. The work draws on the ideas of transformation by the Russian philosopher George Gurdjieff, and shows how alignment and obedience are cultivated under the guise of care. This creates a dark, absurd reflection on modern (corporate) life.
