"Fatigued: A Glimpse into Exhaustion Through Time and Space" In the bustling streets of ancient Rome, Arria the Elder, a prominent woman in society during ca 42 AD, is captured alongside her partner Consul Aulus Caecina Paetus. Their weary expressions hint at the toll that historical Rome took on its inhabitants. Moving forward to an unknown date in the 18th century, a digital reproduction of an original artwork showcases Needle Money, illustrating how even financial matters can leave one feeling drained and fatigued. Meanwhile, an advertisement for Chocolat Devinck reminds us that indulging in sweet treats can provide respite from weariness. The vibrant chromolitho captures the allure of chocolate as a source of comfort and energy. A lithograph depicting a conversation between two individuals reveals their exhaustion as one admits they can do no more while sweating and out of breath. This scene transports us back to another era where physical exertion was part of daily life. The black chalk study for "The Sleeper" by an artist in 1863 portrays someone lost in slumber - perhaps seeking solace from their fatigue through restful sleep. Fast-forwarding to October 12th, 1985, we find ourselves inside Hamleys Toy Shop on Bull Street in Birmingham. Multiple repetitions of this entry emphasize just how draining it must have been for both customers and staff alike during this busy day at the beloved toy store. Shifting gears dramatically, we encounter stereoview photographs capturing World War One's aftermath. After weeks of weary fighting for Menin Road's fateful battle, both victors and vanquished share moments of happiness amidst their shared fatigue - reminding us that war leaves no one untouched by exhaustion. In yet another realm entirely – backstage at a performance – we witness a boy performer collapsing due to pushing himself beyond his limits with one encore too many.
