In 2005-6 I started a little photographic project "Primitive Accumulation: My Journey With Marx". The idea was based on the insight that "primitive accumulation" is not just a historic process which happened during the transition from mercantilism to the early industrial age, but that it is ongoing, even in so called highly developed countries. There are pockets of "backwardness" which get drawn into capitalist relations, such as this Croatian bead and breakfast where this image was taken.
