in collaboration with Amberlyn Lai
TOFU (tofu capitalised) was originally conceptualised as a sculptural installation which contrasts the idea of the ‘commercial product’ (packaged tofu zine), with the ‘body’ (exposed fresh tofu). The double image draws out the tension between the assembly line, as the capitalist drive of continuous expectation of output, and the abused tofu heap, as the actual manifestation of trauma to bodies which the capitalist process creates.
