The Massive Disposal of Experience

Overview

We follow Experience to New York City where she drops off sales to unseen buyers and window shops while contemplating her role within the retail system. NYC’s historic Garment District is the perfect backdrop for her rumination. The Garment District, once a destination for clothing factories and bustling with fashion related activity, is filled with vacant storefronts; factories are now overseas and stores have moved online. Experience’s career is emblematic of a further shift of the individual seller as a store. People like Experience have become the proxy for the now defunct corporeal shopping experience.
