Poems of Consumption by H. Sinno

H.Sinno’s acclaimed performance, Poems of Consumption, reimagines consumer culture through music, poetry, and immersive visuals.

Part concert, part multimedia performance, and part poetic meditation, Poems of Consumption explores the emotional contradictions of modern life through songs built from an unexpected source: Amazon customer reviews transformed into poetry. Partially inspired by Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism, Poems of Consumption is a song cycle covering themes like ennui, surveillance capitalism, heartbreak, boycotts, and orientalism, with compositions that juxtapose harsh electronica with the whimsy of a string quartet.
