SHELLEY WALIA, 2011
:
"...Adorno's fear of culture becoming a
commodity has finally come true; material objects such as watches and
sportswear, Nike shoes, global football and conceptual art have become powerful
cultural symbols. Production of symbols in the form of brands across the globe
have now become the central concern of capitalism. Things give shape to our
imaginary and we carry out our communication through objects..."
Sadie Stein, the Paris Review, October 1 2015:
"...An ideal boot has to be decently made, versatile, affordable, and comfortable. And, of course, it must fit your leg..."
