The average North American supermarket is 40,000 square feet (12100 m²), roughly the size of a football field or an acre of land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe commodified space we enter to partake, in this final destination of industrial food\u003cbr\u003eproduction, is designed to generate maximum expenditure or ‘cart value.' Shelves of\u003cbr\u003eover-produced food products bear little resemblance to the land, labor, plant forms\u003cbr\u003eor animals from which they've been extracted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to a sequence of photographs, a poem unfolds a personal narrative of\u003cbr\u003eresistance navigating a Mega Mart, lit up like a stadium, while attempting to purchase\u003cbr\u003ejust a couple of items. A mock Industry Marketing Report reveals proven strategies to\u003cbr\u003emake us always buy more. Published as a limited-edition zine, Shelf Life’s printing\u003cbr\u003estyle replicates a supermarket discount catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSelf Published \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSoftcover \u003cbr\u003e76 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e317.5 x 368.3 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780578727639\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Self Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46771084296523,"sku":"SLDW01","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/ShelfLife_DrewWaters01.png?v=1690629275","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/da\/products\/shelf-life-drew-waters","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
