BONLANG SHI SHR / BETELNUT GIRLS, 2006
Installation and performance

With this piece, I looked at a practice occurring only in Taiwan—the selling of the addictive substance betelnut by scantily-clad girls in glass booths—and decided to recreate aspects of it.  I created my own booth with such elements as sexually suggestive signage, and then I hired an actor to perform as the betelnut girl.
