Description
The author searches for the soul of the marketplace in the selves, sites and stuff that animate our acquisitive quest. He offers a fieldworker’s view - at times critical, at times celebratory - of consumer experiences that pervade our lives. From the local to the global, his evocative images reflect the poetics of desire in which we are all immersed. This is a loving and lyrical look at our radiant buyosphere.
