With
a tape recorder and the videocamera attached to the trolley, we enter the discounter and rap until the manager stops us. Video 2´ |

I open the paper and The first thing I see Is the discounter leaf-let Being put in between Again and again This shit; I think man Look at it And make a bargain! I study it well And I ask: Why the hell Should myself pay for more When I could get the best score? Check out the offers, man Buy as cheep as you can Pack up your SUV Saving will set you free The discounter carousel moves you around The discounter cartel will bring you down! It is a tricky game Some NGOs complain That it´s quite to bemoan How the price is pushed down But on the other hand I prefer to pretend That I can´t pay my bills If I«m stuck in good wills Being mean and cruel Can make dreams come true I purchase from greed Even though there´s no need The discounter carousel moves you around The discounter cartel will bring you down! As far as I´ve found The bid here is sound And the counterevidence Is lacking existence My purchase determines The wages and earnings And it is, I am sorry The small ones that worry Salesgirl Nina was anyway Struggling with angina And a Chinese man´s destiny Never has bothered me The discounter carousel moves you around The discounter cartel will bring you down!

For
the symposium Good Public Art(ist) (by Het Wilde Weten, Rotterdam)
we provide the 25 visitors with a "shopping kit" (shopping bag, trolley-chip, 5.- Euro). This way they become part of the consumption system as well as the distance between audience and shoppers is disbanded. |
