One mission – Indian Taco.
Taco fixings, Fry Bread, consume.
Some commentary from the artist:
With most of my projects, it’s a simple idea. Sometimes just a joke. Then I get to making it. This video was to film someone eating an Indian Taco under six minutes. I wanted to score it with dramatic music. One thing I’ve notice when watching people eat - they have quirks. Granted this video is dramatized with exaggeration, there is something compelling about it. The other aspect I have about this piece is it’s an Indian eating a large meal in one sitting. It’s an exoticized Indian eating.
