McCain discusses how capitalism has become on the one hand 
all-encompassing and on the other utterly unreal. Arguing that we 
need to be prepared to think the impossible so that resistance is 
able to grow. It attempts to weave an account in which system failure 
is seen as a point of rupture, whether in legislation, bureaucracy or 
thought itself.

Katie McCain is a Canadian artist based in Berlin. She received her
