Invisible Dog Shit, 2007
Digital Photograph
One day I was listening to music while walking home from BART. As I was walking, I saw a piece of tape on the sidewalk that
read: Dog Shit (with an arrow). There was a space, then another tape that read: Dog Shit (and a second set of arrows).
OMFG, I was about to step in the invisible dog shit! I almost tripped and fell trying to avoid it.
This invisible dog shit incident started driving me crazy. A simply worded, well-placed piece of tape could taint
anything, anywhere. I recreated the scene on my studio floor, and my studio mate dutifully avoided the noted area.
Worked like a charm! The power! It made me want to put dog-shit-warning-tape all over town.
