Better than wrapping a woman peeing around your head I suppose.
Yeah it's amazing. The the experience would be being there. And seeing the angle for the light and the distance etc and I slowing better feel for what it making what shape.
If it were me I'd trace my shape on the wall. Lock the la p in place and slowly fill out the shape by seeing what canake the right shape and how to get it there. It is super impressive how accurate and detailed it is. And how original the technique is. Even before you get into the concept of using garbage of things that were consuming while making the work. Which takes it to the level of genius social commentary to me. a classic body of body.

The pissing one is also classic.
It is a tongue in cheek series of works. Living in a low brow way is trashy. But so is living in a way that produces so much waste. Our consumerist society. We know we can do better but we fuck up everything anyway. Barely in mind this is in the late 1
Our capitalist culture also judges people by the products they consume. Here they are what they ate. kfc makes me feel gross but I still eat it. Our trash never goes away. We just hide it. Do rich people make better trash? And our trash is trashy. Culture.

Post crack you mean. Opioid crisis is very recent. And both are American. I wouldn’t be surprise if they are European artists.
Anyway it’s called that because it is made from the garbage they produce in a week or two. The culture of consuming and making waste is trashy. Just like drinking and smoking and other behaviours can be.
It is a joke. But also a statement on the unseen waste of our lifestyles.

Because they artists are white. And the art is made out of the trash from what they consumed over a month or so. I can’t remember the exact themes but it has an obvious innate feeling when you know it is from what they consumed that it is sort of tying today the junk we consume and the junk we produce from consuming and how that is part of our culture. A trashy part of our culture. The title is likely a bit tongue in cheek. Like you are what you eat, and he we are depicted by our trash.
You can look up if you want the answer in the artists words. *6 months trash. If it helps there are also trash shadow statues like this in the set of them pissing on the ground. Which is a trashy behaviour.

You said you couldn’t. But go for it. You have my blessing.
