Xuzhen Supermarket
This work appears to be an ordinary supermarket, but all the goods inside are only packaged in empty shells. However, the cash register works as usual and the goods are sold at the price of real goods.
The futile supermarkets and absurd products remind us that we consume and are consumed at the same time, just like the slogan of Xu Zhen Supermarket, "Filling the emptiness every day", we consume to fill the emptiness of another kind of emptiness. While satirising consumerism and global capitalism, it also raises questions about the culture of everyday consumption.
