table setting











































new project. very happy because the concept is easy and fun and full of possibilities.
it's not political, less conceptual than what I did before...still it could be studied in depth
and bring up issues.
TABLE SETTING...
somebody called me on christmas day, kind of desperate to know how to do a proper
table setting. I know how to just because my family it's kind of obsessed with good manners
and I have been told to behave properly till I finally left my house.
Why I want to do something that I hated to do when I was a kid? cos now I set the table
just like my mum told me to and it's kind of annoying when I find the table setted in other ways...on the other hand when I go back to my mum's house I just want to
eat with my hands and behave like there were no rules. I find this a good starting point and I'll try to have fun with it.
btw I still "forget" something every time I set the table. it's like my trade mark. it could be a napkin or glasses...there is always something missing and I kind of like this rebellion when people discover it and point their finger on me...:)
