Author and photographer Matt Colquhoun joins the podcast to discuss the elegiac biography and personal memoir Egress: On Mourning, Melancholy, and Mark Fisher (Repeater Books). As we discuss the book, we revisit Mark Fisher's concept of postcapitalist desire and develop a broader discussion of Fisher's life and work. We then consider possible trajectories for what would have been Fisher's 'acid communism', the concept behind his famed incomplete manifesto. Also, we hit upon the work of Bataille, Blanchot, Deleuze & Guattari, Kant, Freud, Ray Brassier, Nick Land, and others. Learn more about Matt and his work at xenogothic.com.
