A page from Eleey Farrell and Govan Norse Rondeau’s book on Barbra Kruger’s exhibit at the Art Institute Of Chicago: “Thinking of you I mean me I mean you.” The statement,“I need therefore I shop” is a still from the video version of “Untitled (I shop therefore I am), 1987/2019.” The phrase is a play on Rene Descartes’ philosophical concept “I think, therefore I am” with a classic Kruger twist. Ms. Kruger is known for social commentary on consumerism and these stills demonstrate the irony in the Supreme Swipe.
