This series is being shown at the amazing SNBA event at the Louvre in Paris.
From the 9th – 11th of December 2011.
This series is about consumerism. It is a reflection of how we
purchase products generally. Consumers like a good bargain
and are often tempted by the offer of “buy two, get one 1/2 price”.
The artist Henriette Sonne reflects on why we do this. We know that nobody
is giving anything away for free. The cut is either in the quality,
or the price we think we save is included in the first two and a 1/2 that we purchase.
Have we as consumers become victims of our own enthusiasm or gullibility?
Henriette Sonne, 2010
