Supermarket Europe is an artistic project, developed by Netzfunk art collective, that analyses the situation of the retail sector in the continent. This map represents the European retail market, highlighting the power held by 7 corporations within it: Carrefour, Metro, Tesco, Rewe, Edeka, Lidl, Auchan. The project has also been displayed through an installation exhibited at the A+A gallery in Venice. In this occasion different consumers around Europe were asked to send their shopping bags. The goods and the plastic bags sent by the contributors have been used to compose a map of the revenues gained by those retail corporations. The visitors have been invited to consume the installation throughout the exhibition to experience and represent the space of consumption emerging on the European common market.
