these are stills from my "Let them eat cake." performance piece. it started from a dream i had before waking about me making a mountain of cakes... then it went into a sculpture assignment loosely based on the story of jacob's ladder. i basically set up some bossa nova tunes and served an audience slices of cake, only the top tier of cake was super delicious chocolate with coconut frosting and flowers on top.. the middle tier was plain jane vanilla icing on yellow cake, and the bottom was disgusting soy-sauce-pickle-juice-salty-cayenne-peppery brown and red frosted masterpiece, which i served most of the audience a slice of. only a few got the middle cake, and i think one person and myself got to eat on the delicious top tiered cake. i love that the cake tipped over and made a huge mess. plus i love the murder shots at the end-- i feel like i killed something.
look ma, my thumbs are dipping into more pies (and cakes, really)
