«Capital is an abstract parasite, an insatiable vampire and zombie maker; but the living flesh it converts into dead labor is ours, and the zombies it makes are us»
Mark Fisher
«Capitalist realism: is there no alternative?»
Dance meets music, film, video and spoken word: With his legendary blog K-Punk, the British cultural scientist and pop theorist Mark Fisher shaped an entire generation of pop-affine capitalism critics. In his texts about little-known music, contemporary films and books, he attested to society’s cultural exhaustion syndrome and criticized the widespread view that there was no longer any alternative to capitalist reality: «You can imagine the end of the world, but not the end of capitalism?»
Barely three years after Mark Fisher’s suicide in 2017, the Company Christoph Winkler Approached some concepts of his theory, which express themselves not only politically but also aesthetically.
In the film version of the performative mixtape of music, video, dance and spoken word texts, among others by Mark Fisher himself, the company creates a homage to one of the greatest pop cultural contemporary diagnosticians of our time.
