Nathalie Olah: Bad Taste, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This is not a style, nor an anti-style, guide.

This is an interrogation of the importance we place on 'good' and 'bad' taste in a culture saturated by imagery, and the dangerous impact this has on our identities, communities and politics. From the food we eat to the way we spend our free time, Olah exposes the rigid hierarchies that uphold this age-old dichotomy to reveal exactly who benefits - and who loses.

Bold, original and provocative, Bad Taste is a revelatory exploration of the intersection between consumerism, class, desire and power. It is a rousing call-to-arms to break free from the restrictive ways we see those around us.
