Debt is the primary instrument our capitalist world is organised around, the most powerful instrument of colonisation, slavery and economic warfare.

The theme DEBT has triggered lot's of creative energy and work. It was and is a highly interesting journey for us too. The more we investigate, the more we are sure that the creditor/debtor relation is the fundamental social relation of Western societies.
Now the internal process begins: …
