Operation Supermarket by Farhad Moshiri & Shirin Aliabadi




'The project Operation Supermarket consists of a series of commodity advertisements and packages mixing "poetry with detergent" as the artists describe. The emphasis is on the commodification of mainstream media traits of the Middle East, but also on a wry parody of the mythical hopes still pinned on the commodity itself as a capitalist agent for change.'
