This project was inspired by the book Capitalism and the death drive. In Byung-chu Han's Capitalism and the death drive, the logic of accumulation of capital, as opposed to the former violent economy of killing heads to accumulate power against death and avoiding loss, is articulated as embedded in the desire and desire to produce and consume. Death here is not merely a proxy for biological mortality, but a gradual loss of self and identity over the course of a lifetime. Capitalism constantly reinforces the urge to survive, pitting and isolating life and death, with people rejecting death through sadism and killing, and enjoying narcissism as their power increases.
