Esophagus Now

Esophagus Now was a solo show at the UNIT/Pitt Project. Primarily a sculpture show; Esophagus Now is an interrogation and celebration of consumption, both literally and figuratively. From custom-drawn labels on soft-drink bottles, together making up the words in sentences, to immaculate reproductions of snack food–this exhibition evokes thirst, hunger and primal longing in a fashion that’s both exuberant and introspective.

In conjunction with this exhibition there is also the book Esophagus Now, a collection of three short essays, published by Publication Studio and is available here.
