Vanitas

Vanitas, 2005 by Oskar Dawicki. A collection of groceries whose best before dates expire during the exhibition. The timers placed by each of the products display the time left – each day of the exhibition another product expires, as the exhibition ends all products are inedible.

(thank you submission master jon)

  1. huh? don’t see any use except for wasting edibles.

  2. sure it’s a waste of food, technically – but it’s art.

    i think it’s brilliant.

  3. would a person that suffers from hunger consider this as art?

  4. i doubt the products are inedible after the exhibition
    nice idea anyway :)
