Commitment

laboratory of lost feelings

2000
Performance with table, red tablecloth, whole-wheat biscuits
table measuring 90 x 120 cm

A performance using whole-wheat cookies shaped like letters, arranged to spell the word "compromise," which are distributed to the audience. As the letters are removed, new words are formed, in the following sequence:

COMMITMENT,

I'll buy it.

I'll buy it.

WITH THIS

Omitted

BONE

When you try to eat any of the letters in the word OSSO (bone), you can't... the biscuit becomes hard to chew, one of the O's breaks, and the word SOS is formed.
