The beeping of the cash register, stocked shelves, a conveyor belt. You know exactly where everything is and are surprised when it has been moved. One thing is certain: there is no turning back once you have passed through the turnstile. What does the supermarket tell us about ourselves and our society?
imaginary company takes another close look: after the court and the school, the Frankfurt collective now examines a place that is not a social institution, but which claims to be a “natural” part of our everyday life. What stories can the individual goods tell us? Who in the family does the weekly shopping? What can I afford and which supermarket do I go to for it? And doesn't food belong to everyone anyway? How do the crises of the world become visible between the shelves? Using receipts, the collective takes the audience on an adventurous journey into the belly of capitalism. Between cornflakes packets and loyalty points, they ask: Why does the end of the world seem more conceivable than the end of capitalism?
