William Ludwig Lutgens cre­ates first film pro­duc­tion with the sup­port of Kunstplaats Vonk

Autumn 2024

In the work Joy Sauce, William Ludwig Lutgens explores the state of the mod­ern work­ers, today’s entre­pre­neurs and achieve­ment-ori­ent­ed indi­vid­u­als — their own mas­ters and slaves. Navigating a world of exces­sive pos­i­tiv­i­ty and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, the char­ac­ters appear as burnouts, a zomb­i­fied species that have lost the will to be them­selves in an auto-exploit­ed, over­achiev­ing, ‘noth­ing is impos­si­ble’ soci­ety. The film reflects on human­i­ty wag­ing war on itself, strug­gling to find mean­ing­ful social and phys­i­cal con­nec­tions in the realm of the real.

William Ludwig Lutgens will present the work in Autumn 2024.
