'What comes after Covid? How do we address the naked, class-based and racial inequalities exposed by the plague? Is it conceivable that an aesthetic of mutual care is the singular cure for this mademic, which is anything but a strictly natural catastrophe? Artist and activist Cassie Thornton proposes just such a healing hypothesis in 'The Hologram', a work that is part diagnosis, part prescription, and an altogether politically prismatic and speculative toolbox for dehabituating humans from capitalism . It could not come at a more necessary moment.' * Gregory Sholette, author of 'Dark Matter' and 'Delirium and Resistance' * ' The Hologram is an imaginative intervention that proposes a collective model for health care as a process of political transformation. With the Covid-19 pandemic we have seen that the systems of care that prevail in capitalism do not work. The Hologram offers an inspiring solution.' -- Melanie Gilligan, artist and writer
