What appears is a momentary image from the future, or rather a future, a glimpse of a life re-organized around an alternative set of political desires. The poverty used by detournement, its flagrant meagerness, parallels the material atmospheres of austerity even as it functions as a principled indictment of those not yet capable of glimpsing the political elegance and necessity of the more in less.
