I don't get it. You're selling your reaction to stereotypes and cultural differences? or you're selling your sarcasm?
please explain.
- zedvox0
my aim was to be critical of the stereotypes but not in an adversarial "fuck you manner" but rather to make it into a consumer product. to really play with the idea of being a indian and selling curry powder in a upscale enviorment like an 7-11 cashier working in Prada.
the whole piece alos had the performative aspect to it, so the conversations i had with people there were integral as well.in short i guess ia m selling all of the things you mentioned
