You’re so not worth it (2009)

Tours of People’s Homes, Newcastle upon Tyne

Curated by Joshua Sofaer / Wunderbar

A meal served to eight visitors. Every piece of crockery used was glazed with text – ranging from polite conversation/ compliments to a wide range of insults. The text was hidden under the food served, and only revealed to each guest as they ate their food. Each person was served silently by me, with crockery specifically chosen for them – as the conversation between them all unfolded.
