‘Para ti el banano madura el peso de tu dulce amor’ (2008) by Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa.

The artist slept with a vine of green bananas in the gallery space for the duration of the exhibition, until he ripened them with the heat of his own body and shared them with visitors. (thanks Stefan)

Tadasu Takamine

Stills from the video ‘God bless America’ (2002) by Tadasu Takamine.

Tadasu Takamine and his lovely assistant shared a room with a huge clay face for eighteen consecutive days. Before the eye of the camera, they ate, slept, read, had sex and made continuous changes to the face, animating it to keep time with a scratchy, halting recording of the American patriotic classic “God Bless America”.
