“and free we are”, Photographies by Karen Froede
What choice do we have but to squeeze ourselves into a cube having our naked portrait being taken and mounted onto a board- fully integrated and inseparable with the symbolic matter of mass consumption- namely plastic? What choice do we have but letting our soul get caught imprinted in plastic for, what a fast moving world would call, an eternity.

“and free they are” is framing the chimera of western neoliberalism. An independence within monetary limits.
