Schoggiring
Als Kinder haben wir aus Silberpapier oft Fingerringe gebastelt. Kaum vorzustellen, dass auch eine ernsthafte Künstlerin und Associate Professor of Art, Anika Simulovitz, ähnliches produziert. Im Gegensatz zu uns hat sie sich auch Gedanken zu ihrem Tun gemacht:

"This body of work explores human interaction with objects, specifically the interaction of our lips with objects. While examining the psychological and sociological potency of chocolate in the pieces entitled Love Tokens, I became aware of the sensual power of our lips. This culminated in Chocolate, a collaborative interactive installation comprised of a series of impressions made in the gold foil wrappers of Ferrero Rocher chocolates. The impressions are of puckered lips or teeth. In its use of repetition, mass quantities of "faux" gold foil, reference to chocolate and to the mouth, the installation speaks of consumption, indulgence, passion, and consumerism."
