“An ongoing series of work begun in 2016 about the slings and arrows of capitalism. Essays short and long attempt (essai) to unpack the language that continues to speak us. From its origins in the black plague to neoliberalism. An economic system founded in revolutions of gender, family, race, state, and the subject. The nature of nature. What didn’t change? And how to make an image of the water we are swimming in, the collection of enzymes and hormones I call myself? Tonight’s program offers a suite of 8 shorts made between 2015-2025.” – Mike Hoolboom
