Art curator Jenny Bhatt, through a kaleidoscope of satirical works, mocks at the absurdity of the urban consumer culture
With a credit card, even
beggars can ride. However, if we have to live for a month without plastic money, our mall visits will be reduced by half, we won't watch stupid films like Patiala House, and those pair of sandals would be changed every quarter, and not every month. 
Now you must be wondering where we got all this gyaan from? Recently we attended the preview of Jenny Bhatt's exhibition that acquainted us with the bitter chocolates of consumerist society. We liked the works, and the idea. Read on for further dope.
Fun intended
In her 14th solo exhibition in India, the art curator has put on display a vibrant collection that amusingly critiques our present-day consumer culture. Centred on the theme 'Liberation through Consumption', the exhibition showcases the second series of Bhatt's MokshaShots. A MokshaShot, according to her, "is a taste of the sublime." It pokes fun at our modern consumer's psyche, which is that one can buy their way into acquiring fulfillment by purchasing more and more commodities.
