capitalism is fun

Drawing on childhood memories of Monopoly, Capitalism Is Fun reimagines the game's tokens as symbols of economic absurdity. Each object—removed from its board game context and set against soft pastel backdrops—is paired with a short, irreverent title. These captions, driven by free association, highlight the irony of capitalism’s so-called freedom. A horse token labeled SHIT, for example, turns nostalgia into critique—underscoring how fortunes shift in systems built on chance, competition, and spectacle. By isolating these familiar icons, the series invites reflection on how capitalism is aestheticized, gamified, and internalized. Humorous on the surface, the work challenges viewers to consider their own place in the game.
