Capital: Magical Recipes for Love, Happiness and Health
(color video with sound on DVD PAL, 12 min. 17 sec., 2006)

Capital: Magical Recipes for Love, Happiness and Health is an attempt to find new uses for Karl Marx's Das Kapital, a book tainted with a controversial past. The product of materialistic ideology and the foundation stone for the communist dictatorship is used here as an instrument for divination. This work brings together people's eternal longing to know their own future with efforts to find new uses for the ideologies of yesterday. It grows from a specific geopolitical situation characterized by a critical rejection and deprecation of any trace of the past and by the inability of people from this region to settle with changes that have delivered new values, aims and futures.
