F*** Your Supermarket: A Radical Visual Protest by Annexe Studio

What if the products lining supermarket shelves were designed to warn rather than seduce? This is the premise behind F** Your Supermarket*, a provocative publication by Annexe Studio that challenges the visual language of consumer culture. By subverting the codes of packaging and branding, the project turns everyday items into ambiguous objects that trigger doubt instead of reassurance.

Rather than adopting a didactic tone, the project works through visual disruption. Familiar products are reimagined in a hyper-saturated, almost hallucinatory palette, both seductive and unsettling. This contrast becomes a tool: what first attracts the eye soon generates suspicion. The viewer is not told to question, but naturally begins to.

The publication offers a critique of consumer society’s excesses, from misleading labels to the widespread use of artificial additives and GMOs. Supermarket codes such as logos, packaging, and branding language are hijacked with irony and humor, shifting recognition into critical awareness.

This approach draws from aposematism, a natural phenomenon where bright colors signal danger or toxicity. Here, the reference becomes metaphorical. The exaggerated hues act as visual warnings, suggesting that what appears desirable may conceal something harmful.

Annexe Studio frames the project within its broader vision as an independent creative hub. Conceived as a shelter for ideas in motion, it is a space where concepts evolve, images expand into environments, and stories are experienced rather than simply told.
