I followed up the previous propaganda poster by staging my own living room to include various consumer products. I wanted to make the same commentary on American contemporary consumerism, so I kept the original first line of text "'Tis The Season" to set up the idea that obsessive consumption occurs every year and cannot be avoided. Various objects are labelled with plain white text around the image to objectify, to abstract, and to subtly express the idea that these objects hold no hierarchal importance and are just "stuff". The word "consumption" finishes the phrase but is enlarged and washed out into the image to embed itself throughout the living space, the white text, and the entire schema that surrounds the holiday season.
