Through the lens of poverty, Vanity Poverty Revenge considers the connections between dispersed cultural and political phenomena, from the proliferation of homelessness in the West, the outburst of strong narcotics and pharmaceuticals, heroine, crack but also fentanyl, antipsychotics and antidepressants, to how these embodiments of Western misery find their stylised expression in examples such as haute couture. An aesthetic of luxury based on the signifiers of contemporary poverty that trickles down through replicas, fakes and cheaper brands that are then consumable ready and longed for by those very same ones that end up outraging in the streets.
