“The power of capitalist realism derives in part from the way that capitalism subsumes and consumes all of previous history: one effect of its 'system of equivalence' which can assign all cultural objects, whether they are religious iconography, pornography, or Das Kapital, a monetary value.”
—Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism
the american dollar is a weak exchange for time. alluding to Mark Fisher’s concept, SRGE proposes alternate value systems by hosting an art auction where money [das Kapital] is of no use. vulnerability is the currency.

Collected earth, glass sugar dispenser, ice scoop.
an experimental performance/ sculptural piece in which I traveled to Manhattan's 4 wealthiest neighborhoods and the 4 lowest income neighborhoods to collect a jar of dirt from each.
I treated this project like an experiment- how do the politics and people of a neighborhood affect the quality of the earth beneath their feet? To control as many variables as possible as possible, I selected the most frequently visited grocery store in each neighborhood, and dug in the closest dirt I could find.

Autodestruir en Braille-
2021 DSLR digital image. toast.
bread toasted to different values in order to spell out "self destroy" using the braille system. An attempt to grasp the conundrum that are self-destructive habits. The same way in which braille is entirely useless if one cannot physically touch it; progress is futile if I am going to self-destruct.
