Consumer Instruction Manual for the Modern Adolescent
PUBLICATION, 2020
This piece is a satirical detournement of a 1952 publication that I found in the Prelinger Library in San Francisco. Through my reinterpretation of the original publication, I am critiquing consumerism and capitalism in hopes of exposing their problematic effects on our society, particularly in reference to our youth. By manipulating the source material, I highlight how we indoctrinate our youth into patterns of consumerism from a young age.
