For this video performance, I made my friends play ping pong using different food: corn, bread, and lettuce. I did this because they like to play ping pong, and I think they are kind of good players. However, when they used other things instead of ping pong bats, it becomes a difficult game. In addition to testing my friends’ ability of playing ping pong, I was trying to transform the functions of these food. Even though some objects or food like bread and lettuce look fragile, they can still be used to do many other things including playing the ping pong. The parameter for this video performance is to successively play the ping pong back and forth for three times. But it seems to be very hard, even if they are playing well with the bats at the beginning of the video.
I appreciate the humor in this piece. And that you used a documentary style to make it. As a performance its not clear why you did i- although the absurdity of it has potential.
