In this design and performance-based project, I sought to play with pure absurdity. I challenged myself to design a performance piece around a classroom desk at the School of Visual Arts.
Weddings have themselves become commercial spectacles, and I was interested in taking that logic to its extreme by staging a marriage to a commercial product. At the same time, the wedding becomes an advertisement of its own, advertising my love for this product in the way that television commercials advertise fictional consumers’ love for their products. This project ended up developing into a branding exercise for the wedding between myself and the classroom desk. It was realized as brochures, postcards, a poster, photography, and a public performance of the wedding ceremony.
