‚Uncolonized & Unprofitable & Unprofessional‘ explores how community forms in the ruins of late-stage capitalism— how love and kinship bridge the gaps of collapse and rotting power structures. The works visual ontology references the over saturation of images that mediate contemporary existence. The image allows internet memes to inhabit the same space and time as objects of language, forces or nature, and so forth, until chaos replaces normalcy. As a greater whole, Lola Jane’s practice explores the embodied sense of collapse in the context of late-stage capitalism. Central to this inquiry is an interest in the city as a site of mediation: how does the architecture of imagery we move through in both physical and digital spaces shape our encounters with the world? The work goes further to investigate how this contemporary onslaught of images mediates and obscures social relations— abandoning community and connection for a performance of life.

Lola Jane’s Artefacts of Collapse (2025) presents the clearest “why”: forty-four screenprints wrap a corner like a prophecy of late-stage capitalism. Pests, hazard symbols, buildings, chain-link fences, and clipped text are pressed flat on the metal, the language of warning signs and municipal design scrambled into a delirious urban vision. As I move in, I’m pinned between past chaos and a future of decay. Jane shows not a single catastrophe but the everyday experience of living inside structures already rotting from within. Here, collapse is less a plot twist than the built-in contradiction of late-stage capitalism.
