Images of Capitalism brings together works that examine how economic systems become body, behavior, and image. The series addresses labor and suspension, the personification of corporate power, everyday consumption, the social memory of the pandemic, and administered violence as a cultural object.
The works do not illustrate a single theory. Each one builds a concrete situation through photography, drawing, action, assemblage, or installation. Together they form a critical sequence from the working body to symbols of authority, and from circulating waste to devices that condense a political order.
