Title

I shop therefore I am (Remix) | Open Editions by Highlight

Barbara Kruger's 1987 photograph, Untitled (I shop therefore I am), appropriates the statement “I think therefore I am” from Descartes’ philosophy as commentary on material consumption. The artwork has been ironically printed onto thousands of shopping bags, t-shirts and other products of consumption.

“You want it, you buy it, you forget it.” —Barbara Kruger
