PhotoNY – Soft Burden

I’m in a photo exhibition in Chelsea, NYC tomorrow, see photonygalleries.com. I’m showing two large scale photographs through a great SF based gallery called Yoo Projects.

Here is the piece description:
SOFT BURDEN

Soft burden was performed in front of a small live audience on Friday May 13th, 2005 at the Djerassi Artist in Residence Program in Santa Cruz, CA. Marc coated himself with shaving cream; once covered, he removed the shaving cream from himself using a commercial blower.

The photos were taken by Marc using an intervalometer and a tripod.

Archival Digital C-Print: Edition of 5
Dimensions: 32″ x 48″

I made this piece while staying at the ranch of the infamous creator of the birth control pill, the one and only, Carl Djerassi. I think he was secretly thinking to give me some free samples after this piece as a hint not to bring offspring into this world.
