Procrastination - definition: tendency to postpone, systematically until the next day.


Ramdane Touhami hates this phenomenon. In Procrastinophobic, he sets out to meet those who are in perpetual motion and who mark their era: musicians, artists, athletes, designers, gallery owners, entrepreneurs... They have one thing in common: to always be in action.


James Wines is a legendary designer and an architect whose provocative work through his studio SITE has challenged our ideas of retail and public spaces. In this conversation, he discusses his beginning as a sculptor, his playful approach to design, and his perspective on the political future of the US.


Note: This conversation was recorded on Zoom and wasn't supposed to be released as a podcast, but it was so thrilling it had to be shared here, so please excuse the sound quality!
