In the organizer's words:
How many things do I have? How many of them do I actually need? What is necessary, what is desired, and why? I own, therefore I am?
With *CONSUMPTION: Everyday Objects Between Utility, Desire, and Excess*, the MKK turns its attention to the objects we surround ourselves with every day, and to the desires, expectations, and dependencies tied to them. Consumption shapes our everyday lives just as much as our self-image. Through material culture, we express who we are and who we want to be.
Drawing on some 500 objects from the collection, the exhibition traces how needs, possessions, and consumption habits have changed over the centuries. It explores the social, economic, and technological developments that have led to our being surrounded by so many things today.
