Yell Art Space, Shanghai, China


Process:

I enter the gallery carrying a suitcase.

Two audience members are invited to help saw into a tomato placed on my palm.

A strand of an audience member’s hair is cut together with my own,
mixed, and inserted into the tomato.

The tomatoes are nailed to the wall.
With the audience’s assistance, my hair is also nailed to the wall.

The hair is burned.

I eat the hair from the tomato fixed to the wall,
then spit it back into the hand of its owner.

Finally, I gather the materials into the suitcase and leave.
