[ DESCRIPTION ]
A figure of a woman falling from a Tesco trolley from the top of a building, not content, not a princess.
[ CRITICAL ANALYSIS ]
Appearing in an upmarket area of London, this image of a falling figure with a shopping trolley distills the precarity of consumer culture — the idea that shopping has replaced other forms of meaning, with fatal consequences for the human spirit.
