Description

The artists represented in the exhibition used their cameras to look askance at the expansion of consumer culture in the 20th century. Some inspect the products of mass manufacture intensely, others take a close look at the advertising systems invented to move goods quickly from factory to home. Together, these works highlight the influx of prefabricated objects and marketing campaigns over the last century and point to their underpinning promise (so often unfulfilled) of a prosperous life.
