ICON nº87 - Ocupar el futuro

This work illustrates an article about how the gig economy model is changing the conditions of workers and increasing precariousness.
I wanted to depict this new gig economy as a distopian-pop tyranny mixing futuristic cartoons like Futurama and The Jetsons, with the political and social themes of Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis and Mexican muralists Siqueiros, Orozco and Rivera. For the main character I got inspired by Kazumasa Yamashita's Face house in Kyoto.
