Abundance of all kinds of products for consumption, mortgages and loans, leisure time and entertainment – all dreams of the past have become reality. The exhibition exemplifies the imagination and desires behind early industrial era Utopia, the heritage of which still outlines the limits of our political imagination today and substantiates this with the fact that contemporary Capitalism appears to have achieved Utopia.
