Economimesis is a multi-part project, taking as a starting point Jacques Derrida’s essay of the same name, examining the link between aesthetic concepts and economic regulatory cycles.


“Apparemment, mimesis et oikonomia n’ont rien à faire ensemble.Il s’agit de montrer le contraire, d’exhiber le lien de système entre les deux.”

Jaques Derrida, Economimesis, 1975
