‘The exhibition attempts to unfold debt, not as an economical aberration, but as the constitutive elements in the genome of contemporary and global political economy…’
Listen to artist duo Freudian Typo (Ghazaleh Avarzamani and Ali Ahadi) discuss their newly commissioned body of work. Condensed Word, Displaced Flesh unfolds debt not as a financial anomaly but as a key element that forms the contemporary political economy of Western Christendom, imposed and made hegemonic globally. The exhibition highlights how historical systems of accumulation and coercion bind singular lives into perpetual debt, turning precarity into a universal human condition.
This exhibition has been made possible thanks to the support of the Freudian Typo Exhibition Circle and Delfina Foundation’s Network of Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia Patrons.
