THE BIRD FOUNTAIN

  I like the idea of exalting nothing, or next-to-nothing. A loaf of bread is one of the simplest staples of food for us. I had a simple thought: Replace a loaf of bread for a concrete fountain, and birds for water. I bought a loaf of Wonder Bread and placed it in a public square. The birds came down and devoured it. This was documented on instagram with the text: "when you see a cheap loaf, see a fountain". The piece existed in reality, and exists in thought, every time you reach for a loaf of bread.

I saw this in the street

I called it Fly Fountain
