Globalization and Me: HFCS: Food Manufacturers, Researchers, and Consumers
https://vimeo.com/97911937
This piece of art was created in response to the connection that could potentially exist between HFCS and type 2 diabetes. The piece contains a collection of food labels containing high fructose corn syrup, other highly processed ingredients, and other ingredients that are impossible to pronounce. The purpose of this work is to provoke the viewer to give more consideration to what they are ingesting and digesting and how it can affect their long term health. The paper mache mask in the middle of the work is symbolic of the food and beverage industry and their eagerness to gain profit from the consumer.
