About: For the past four years, WE BUY SOULS! has existed on city streets as a living artwork, equal parts installation, performance, marketing experiment, and dark satire, this conceptual artwork is an evolving psycho social experiment in faith, finance, and exchange. Signs advertising the phrase We Buy Souls appeared across Los Angeles and beyond, directing people to a hotline where they are prompted to leave a message dictating the value of their soul and why.
Over forty thousand voicemails later the project continues to collect. Forming a living archive of human vulnerability and late capatilist society’s shadow.
WBS is not just about selling souls, it's about systems: the ones we trust, the ones that exploit us, and the absurd overlap between the two. It examines the price of belonging, and the illusion of choice. How corporate structures become consumer deities, and loyalty, whether spiritual or economic, is cultivated through repetition, spectacle, and promise. Feeding the unfillable human void, that keeps the system alive. The need to believe in something, to own, to consume, to be seen, to be saved. CALL NOW!
