Trevino Brings Plenty: Indian Taco Nation Rising

 

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.
