Super Market – Space to Reflect

Why do objects we have bought for ourselves sometimes fill us with buyer’s remorse? And what happens to them afterwards?

Event

Buying: whenever, wherever, whatever. We all love to buy. However, how many times have you opened your drawer and thought: «That was a mistake». We buy for the mere act of buying, without reflecting on our actions. This sometimes leads to poor decisions when it comes to our purchases.

The focus of my work lies on the stories behind these mistakes. These stories can explain the background of and reasons for the individual purchase. They shed light on the situations in which something was bought and motives for the purchase are described. In addition, the stories trace the process of how an object once desired turns into a «big mistake». The project «Super Markt – Space to Reflect» wants to encourage people to consider their decisions when buying something.
