Two people frowning at a salami [2018 - present]

Collaboration with A. Berger

Performance / Durational / 1 x Cured Salami / Hanging Apparatus / Suit

Statement

Inspired by my time selling salami at Borough Market, Two people frowning at a salami is a durational performance of stillness and contemplation. The frown, open to interpretation, complements the salami’s own ambiguity. As a quintessential example of performance art, the piece invites audiences to explore themes such as masculinity, mortality, labor, meat, or the salami’s formal qualities, leaving its meaning deliberately undefined.
