This piece of art relates to Marx's idea of commodities, it is a record of human satisfaction from buying the items on the receipt. It also shows the labor that went into buying the items and the fact that these items were produced and made to be sold as consumer goods. It shows what the human valued enough to pay for. The fact that the receipt is made large also pushes forward the importance of consuming in our society today and how the action of shopping and buying is basically an art form in the modern day. People value the things they buy and it's showing the experience of buying those things.
