Consumer society tantalises us. We then try within ourselves to control the needs that are being constantly stimulated.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We live in an era of consumerism and it's all about desire-based consumerism and it has nothing to do with things we actually need.
All of my work is meant to evoke a whole bunch of different layers of discord between the attraction and repulsion that we feel toward our consumer habits and our consumer lives.
By continually pushing the message that we have the right to gratification now, consumerism at its most expansive encouraged a demand for fulfillment that could not so easily be contained by products.
When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.
We need to listen to consumers' needs.
We have a market-driven society so obsessed with buying and selling and obsessed with power and pleasure and property.
Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.
The days of trying to get a consumer to come to you are over. You really have to be in the consumer's world, wherever, whenever and however.
Our own relentless search for novelty and social status locks us into an iron cage of consumerism. Affluence has itself betrayed us.
The joy of being a consumer is that it doesn't require thought, responsibility, self-awareness or shame: All you have to do is obey the first urge that gurgles up from your stomach. And then obey the next. And the next. And the next.
