The Massive Disposal of Experience
Women’s History Museum
May5–Jun112022
For their second solo exhibition at Company, Women’s History Museum explores themes of consumerism, the evolving modes of shopping, and the consciousness of commerce in a two-channel film titled, The Massive Disposal of Experience.
The film’s narrative is centered around its main character Experience, a vintage clothing reseller in a not so far off future. We first find Experience in her bedroom hunched over her laptop searching and bidding on items and waiting for sales. In this competitive online landscape, she is desperately trying to set herself apart by advertising and is simultaneously letting out a hyperbolic cry for help over her own mental state in her listings.
