Decapitated Economies
intercalations: paginated exhibition
intercalations 5 ... is a book of provocations wherein the reader-as-exhibition-viewer learns that the “head,” despite its interminable rule over the body, necessarily underestimates the sophistication of corporeal desire when such desire is unleashed in accord with the principles of a general economy.
With contributions that explore a wide spectrum of headlessness and its many operational forms—ranging from the invention of the guillotine to the maintenance of museum repositories, annual shareholder reports to Indigenous sovereignty struggles, neuroscientific advancements to brain surgery narratives, as well as the housing crisis, ocean pollution, settlement and cerealization, wheat banks, political murder, human extinction, and much more.
This publication is now expected for release in December 2025. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when intercalations 5 is finally ready to ship. Can’t wait!
