A philosophical essay on
responsibility, systems, and spatial power in
contemporary retail.
Written from inside the system.


Retail is not experience.
It is governance.
The environment functions.
Responsibility does not.
No strategies.
No solutions.
Once a space acts back on human beings, who answers for what it produces?
You may stop reading at any time.
Neutrality is no longer available.
