The dying house is a representation of things (culture/lifestyle/mental health) damaged during the process of capitalistic accelerationism. Using body movements to resemble a conjuring ritual to give voice to the spectral ghosts of Marxist thought. The abandoned, boarded-up house serves as a monument to this area's past life, maintaining the ghosts of the working class.
Pointing out the shortcomings or mere lack of humanity associated with late-stage capitalism. In a near catatonic state being moved only by the flow of external suffering. Through burning feet with candle flames, this bit of pain conjures the ghosts of the Industrial Revolution era of American Capitalism.
Even when holding feet to flames to act, that movement can’t halt or change the course of the cycle. When speaking with Derridean ghosts, shadows surface to reveal the inevitable repeating narrative we are condemned to.
