"Frank B. Wilderson III writes on Afropessimism, an idea that societal structure is dependent on upholding antiblackness and its violence. Black life is not relational; it is the site of perpetual structural violence. In lee hooper’s REVOLUTIONARY SUICIDE we begin here, in that space of unmooring. The project is urgent, raw, and unfiltered. Recorded, performed, and released in a single week, it captures a moment of immediate reaction to the world hooper inhabits—a world structured by antiblackness, where survival is never guaranteed. There is only reaction, no time to soften the edges of what is lived and what is, and can still be, taken.”
