Methods of Consumption
I seem to have some sort of strange fascination with supermarkets and the way food and consumables are organized. It seems to suggest that the manner in which we consume is essentially compartmentalized and categorized. The supermarket seemingly represents a microcosm of modernity and modern living and as much as there is variety in what we can purchase, it is insofar only limited to what manufacturers and conglomerates want to produce or think we, the consumers, want to consume. Our methods of consumption are governed not by the laws of free-will or choice but by market trends and research. While there is indeed diversity, it is the sheer homogenization of this diversity that seems frightening.
