Non-Market Identity: The Biographies of Latin American Products explores individual narratives of what is overlooked as almost-perfect commodities; Latin American products that can be found regularly in common stores in Europe and other parts of the world. The work derives from interview-talks with Latin American migrants in Vienna, Stockholm, and Brussels and gathers the biographies of imported commodities such as cacao, bananas and avocados. Altogether the assemblage tracks down these consumer goods and their colonial past through individual stories that resonate with larger and collective ones.
