The Modern Day Consumer
1987-01-01 | 11 minutes
Plot Summary
Depicts modern humanity as a product of the industrial revolution, which formed and cultivated a society based on mass consumption. This consumerism is illustrated through portrayals of our feeding, mating, and grooming habits, as well as ritual gatherings and retirement that manufacture a dependency on the capitalist system. Burman’s highly fantasized stop-motion claymation critiques the absurdity of integrating capitalism and humanity, which has altered the human experience into a measurement of one’s ability to mass produce and mass consume.
