What you’re having
2010-ongoing
C-prints. 9 x 11 inches.
Each photograph is an edition of 1 + 1 artist proof.—
An exercise in the idea that you are what you eat taken to a perhaps
desperate extreme. An insistent attempt to experience the world as
someone else does, over the course of a meal or drinks, perhaps
extending to the time of digestion, time of defecation, or perhaps even
longer as we both absorb the same composition of molecules into our
bodies.
I order whatever another individual does at a restaurant or bar,
submitting both my subjective taste, and body to their choices. Our
separate receipts are photographed on location upon the surface we
were sitting at.
