Inspired by the Flyposter Frenzy book by Mathew Fuller, the manifesto consists of ten A5 mini posters (all screen printed and risograph printed), outlining a rule for becoming mindful of your purchasing habits. Each poster has a black-and-white equivalent that can be ripped out, photocopied and reprinted at larger sizes (for example, A3) and used as protest posters for raising awareness. Once in the reader\u2019s hands, they can manipulate the posters as they see fit, giving them a life of their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE02--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds24\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/odette-dierkx-02_Odette-Dierkx-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1796;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">LAZY is a speculative design project reintroducing the luxury of doing nothing through a boredom cafe.
