i think a "project" like this is great, although doesn't it turn out to be, rather than a sustained, deliberate investigation into the contradictions of late capitalism, a "gesture" where the action of reading karl marx is turned into a kind of diffuse, ambient performance?

the photo sessions reveal a group of petit-bourgeois "playing" with marx's ideas (a privileged position to begin with) and end with a pseudo-democratic "forum" where light-hearted investigations can continue.

"playing" with revolutionary/radical politics does not equal a revolutionary praxis!
