"Commodity Fetish" by Roger Newton is a gelatin silver photograph printed on wood, a process that merges the cool precision of traditional darkroom photography with the warm, organic texture of a natural material. The transfer of the photographic image onto wood creates a layered tension between the industrial and the natural, echoing the work's thematic exploration of consumer culture and the mystification of objects. Newton's choice of medium reinforces the concept of commodity fetishism, inviting viewers to reconsider the surfaces and materials that give objects their perceived value and allure.
