This project as a whole investigates fragile issues of control, identity, inescapable social systems, rules of absurd conduct, class and social deconstruction/placement. This simple act of eating tuna out of a can on the street evoked reactions such as sorrow, disapproval, fear and disgust. There were many comments made however, the still image captured something much more meaningful. Many stories told, through various descriptive methods of silent communication. Everyone seemed to respond to this seemingly unorthodox act. I myself would probably have a similar response to such an act. In this case, the can of tuna fish and I are the signifier and the street is the context. I experienced a striking telepathic outpour of information and communication! I made no effort by way of costume or posture to appear homeless and yet I was perceived as such. In this action, I objectified myself in order to experience and capture some of the elements in the subtle process of social deconstruction and dehumanization.
