“Lust for Life is a video performance that takes a mundane activity – food preparation – and turns it into a sequence of absurdities. Something about the sustained washing, caressing and massaging of the chicken carcass in this video, combined with the fruity sound effects of ticklish squeaks and appreciative gurgles added later by the artist, conspires to paint a picture of, if not an explicitly violent or injurious scenario, then perhaps a disturbed state of mind. Certainly the plot, if one exists, goes way beyond expressing regular domesticity, or even sensuality or desirability: a latent pathology is revealed.”
