|
Dorito Lifevest is part of a set of designs commisionned for the St Etienne Biennale. LifeVest focuses on our interdependency with consumption—what feeds and what enslaves. By intertwining notions of merchandising, nutrition, addiction, obesity and survival, we are suggesting that if we wear what we crave, we can enjoy on-going gratification without ingesting it. The power of the packaged goods is here transferred to the packaged consumer. It shields us against marketing assaults by allowing us to float above. And by being a readily accessible food supply, LifeVest is also a security against times of food shortage. |
