Reparation Hardware


Ilana Harris-Babou subverts the visual idioms of advertising and other aspirational media in this series to address issues of race and power. To interrogate the ideology of the everyday, she imagines a luxury home goods store cheekily-named store Reparation Hardware. With a deadpan sense of humor, Harris-Babou appropriates the form of otherwise banal furniture ads to get at the underbelly of consumerist logic, refracting our capitalistic cravings to expose the American shopper’s psyche.
