Trail of the Trade



This was a multi part project that went through many iterations to get to its present, and I believe most successful form.  The initial point of departure for the piece was a night of performance art at The Artery in Houston, Texas.  I conceived of the piece as a Fluxus score.
1.  Present an object for trade to an individual.
2.  Photograph the individual.
3.  Photograph the object they are offering for trade.
4.  Record the individual's personal commentary on their traded object via audio.
5.  Use your newly received traded item for trade with another individual.
6.  Repeat.
