Misery

Description

"I spoke of the operation of a certain type of fashionable photography, which makes misery into a consumer
good. When I turn to the ‘new objectivity’ as a literary movement, I must go a step further and say that it has
made the struggle against misery into a consumer good."
-Walter Benjamin's "The Author As Producer"

Photo project for school. Basically, I tried to literally make "misery" into a consumer good through a 1950's style advertisement. The slogan is in reference to the struggle against this consumerism.
