Shopping lists : a consuming fascination / Ingrid Swenson.

"Some years ago, Ingrid Swenson began collecting found shopping lists from her North London supermarket. Enlightening and funny, fascinating, and poetic, these private notes to self, detailing someone's weekly shop - rocket and antibacterial wipes, treacle and prawns, fags and milk - invite us to speculate on and imagine the private universes of their authors. They are, in effect, domestic haikus, scribbled on the back of letters and bills. Having formed the basis of an exhibition in 2017, Shopping Lists documents a consuming fascination of both Swenson's and her subjects', providing an amusing, insightful and quietly profound insight into the lives of ordinary Londoners." -- Provided by publisher.
