Objects of desire

StoreFront objects of desire, is a faux retail installation consisting of ephemeral fashion items such as clothing, handbags and shoes set up as a trope for consumer culture. The line between desire and ownership is further blurred with standard marketing strategies such as branding and interior design. This project is inspired by new paradigms such as Buy Nothing Day and the Story of Stuff, which raise awareness about the global repercussions of overconsumption.
