I modeled these lollipops by using my own body as a model. My plan is to launch these lollipops as a product to be found on a free market and available to everybody.
In my work “Lollipops” I dealt with sharing my intimacy with people I don’t know and with those I do know. This work examines questions of offer and demand in contemporary society. In age where most people in Western world engage easily in sexual contacts, in age where on line communication is greater than ever and where private information are available to almost everyone, one could raise a question – what happened with intimacy? Have people become closer with the amount of intimacy shared or is it only an illusion?
Lollipops are modeled in average dimensions, same as once we buy in stores. Apart from the fact that the oral experience of licking a lollipop implies indirectly of a sexual act it is also a product anyone can buy. It makes the product non-exclusive and I find that very important. More so, lollipops remind us of childhood and do not have great nutritive value. They are consumed only for pleasure.
An integral part of this work is a model made in clay as a sculpture and by turning this sculpture into an eatable product it starts it’s own life and changes it’s own shape during the course of consumption. This is how the art work, the faith of which is unpredictable and unique for each piece, is created.
