Specialist note

‘There's a lot of basic human buttons. What are people's reactions to things? I do feel as if my buttons are being pressed. If I feel my buttons being pressed, I generally start making work about something. […] I think that the commodity aesthetic has a huge affect on our culture, as human beings. I think it's almost like a monumental force for human beings all over the planet right now'
(M. Bouchet, quoted in R. Small, ‘Mike Bouchet’s consumer fantasies’, in Interview Magazine, 10 November 2013)
