TOFU (tofu capitalised)
2020
Digital renders of self-published zine in custom tofu packaging
A R T W O R K S T A T E M E N T
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.
For the event of Goldsmiths Oriental M-art’s online launch, TOFU (tofu capitalised) has been adapted to present a concurrent launch to unveil the project’s tofu zine. The TOFU (tofu capitalised) zine will be available for preorder throughout the duration of the exhibition.
