The photo shows a pair of discarded women’s shoes. One is lying on top of a trash bin, the other one lies right next to it. In the background someone is walking away. A more detailed reception might reveal some deeper meanings to the viewer: Inside the shoe the words “More & More” can be seen, and on the bin there are two stickers saying “Absurd”. Therefore, the picture can be read as a metaphor on today’s wasteful consumer society. A pair of shoes in really good shape is simply discarded and we walk away with something new. “More & more” – isn’t it “Absurd”?
