Allow me to take you to Chadstone Shopping Centre – Tucked amongst the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, it is the biggest shopping complex in the Southern Hemisphere. It contains 530 separate stores constituting its internal organs. And 9500 parking spaces constituting its epidermis. Each visitor, consumer, shopper, staff member and individual, becomes a cell in this massive body, this massive, ‘junk-space’ organism. Contained within an air-conditioned homeostasis, the cells flow through polished and gangrenous passages with such ecstasy, completely unaware of their apoptosis. Purchases cause one to become glorified, transcendent apparatuses. Within the walls of Chadstone, amongst the pleasurable chaos, personal, unique individual identity is instilled. This is the ultimate peak of our lifeworld. This is everything. This is the meaning of life.
