The businessman’s blues is an audio DIY from which emerges a choking karaoke. Its performer, Dave, is hired and paid by the artist via Upwork, an internet platform of specialist recruitment in freelance workers. With humor, he declaims a French song whose main character aspires to a more romantic life, as if his job had prevented him from living his life the way he wanted to. In this way, the artist, sponsor and constantly revalued as a great entrepreneurial figure, merges with the bullshit job as an operator in the tertiary sector.
