Form Fitting, 1993

documentation website


A low-tech installation of three rooms: kitchen, dressing room, and bathroom. Viewers opened and peered into objects that resembled familiar household furnishings and mimicked Minimalist forms.
 

Form Fitting is a large-scale pink-and-white domestic Alice in Wonderland installation about eating disorders. In a play on Minimalism’s obsession with sculptural form, the installation reveals my previous obsession with bodily form. In the process of telling this personal and yet common story, the installation incorporates objects made from materials as diverse as sugar, lard, soap, diet pills, laxatives, candy-bars, and mouthwash. All the objects in the space were carefully designed to shift one's sense of bodily scale in an effort to create a highly experiential political piece about body image, sexuality, and control. It speaks of secrets, reductions, and consuming desires. At one point, viewer's are even faced with the dilemma of the piece: should they sneak a snickers bar out of the giant medicine cabinet?
