Consuming to Be Consumed

Consuming to Be Consumed explores my complex relationships with food, and considers what it means to consume something. Through disordered eating, the love of another person, or my own anxieties, I inhabit a cycle of consumption and expulsion that feels futile and endless: a personal ouroboros.

The use of headphones for the intimate, bodily noises in the soundscape provide the viewer with a sense of closeness, of being within the body and experiencing the consumption. With the soundscape, the multiple channels of video overflowing from the table, and the tableware objects, the viewer can contemplate the dichotomy between consuming and consumed.
