Commodity Society_Part 2

这是“商品社会”的第二个部分。整个项目都是我在丝网印刷课程上的一个小尝试。在第二个部分中,我选择用更直白的方式来探讨商品与包装本身的价值与意义。

Lots of foods with beautiful packaging and were put on shelves or chill cabinets and were sold to customers every day. However, these so-called “organic” foods have become different than its neutral form.

Food commercialization took off many attributes and add many attributes to the food. It took off the original form, color, texture of the food. Instead, the food has been replaced by uniform artificial appearances. It also added many attributes to the food. They use well-designed packaging, misleading color using, chemical additives to make their product looks good. They also use different certification labels to “greenwash” their product.

Two parts of the artwork build a fictitious market environment. Within the environment, everything looks delicate. In fact, there are cold wood board and hard plasters behind it. Through this project, I also want to make people pay more attention to the foods they bought. I wish the viewer can ignore the well-designed package and focus on the nature of the thing we consumed.
Thanks for your watching!
