Carl Bender is the artist behind these bizarre fictitious apocalyptic products. His controversial collection of fake consumer products urges consumers to have a closer look at commercial messaging and to attempt to define limitations for corporate responsibility.
Products such as the Molotov Cocktail in-a-box, fast acting suicide beverages, and the Heroin Fun Kit don’t really exist, but are a part of the Anarkon project, which was designed to raise awareness for over-the-top style consumer driven advertising.
By presenting a fictitious worst-case scenario as genuine the Anarkon project questions the influence of corporate, branding and advertising power in a culture consumed by consumption.
