In a world driven by consumerism, we find ourselves at a sad end. The black and white photo captures the essence of our society's obsession with material possessions. We are surrounded by an abundance of commodities, as depicted in the colorful lithographs showcasing tobacco, wine, currants and raisins, rubber, tea and coffee. These images serve as a reminder of how these products have become integral to our daily lives. The illustration by Achille Lemot further emphasizes this point. In Le Pelerin, he portrays the saying "He who does not consume does not renew himself. " It highlights the belief that consumption is necessary for personal growth and development. Advertisements play a significant role in promoting consumer culture. The advertising of "Frigeavia"and "Teleavia" demonstrates how companies entice us to constantly upgrade our appliances and electronics. Even in everyday life scenes like Covent Garden Market or a discarded pink party shoe on top of a black bin liner, we witness the consequences of our excessive consumption habits. The engraving depicts London people engrossed in their quest for more goods while disregarding their surroundings. An eye-catching pink poster advertising Police Naked eau de parfum catches our attention but also symbolizes how marketing tactics manipulate us into desiring new products incessantly. As we delve deeper into this consumer society, it becomes evident that our insatiable desire for material possessions has led us astray from what truly matters - human connection and sustainability, and is time to reflect on the impact of our choices and strive towards finding balance between fulfilling our needs and preserving resources for future generations.
