ISSUE, 2004
Stop frame animation of the artist’s son’s teeth over a period of 24 months | Duration 04:37
ISSUE, like HEAD is a time-lapse experience of the natural ebb and flow of the body. The video depicts a period of 24 months, where the cute milk teeth of the artist’s son are systematically replaced by their adult versions, which lay waiting in the skull of us all at birth. A nightmare to adults and a right of passage to children, teeth fall out to be restored by oversized replicas, which sit uncomfortably in a mouth too small to hold them all.
