bazaar / market is a scrutiny of the practice of the bazaar through which the historical unconscious comes to terms with what is perceived as excessive in nature's productivity. (Englisch)

It posits abundance and plenitude as an intellectual problematic that human societies have had to resolve over time, a problematic that has gotten obscured in contemporary economic and historical thought that has on the whole theorised the subject around the idea of lack, life around the idea of time and aesthetics around practices of iconicity. Such is the ideation underlying the idea of the market. Bazaars on the other hand work around experience of flow, action and aniconicity. A sub-plot examines the birth of the cinema in the bazaar and the various traditions of cinema that have arisen from its functioning in different kinds of bazaar cultures.
