There was an article in
Salon today about the indestructible nature of McDonald's hamburgers. New York photographer Sally Davis let a Happy Meal set on a table for over 100 days and nothing much happened to it. It looked pretty much the same and critters seemed to steer clear.
This takes me back to a series of sculptures I did in 1988 while living in Lawrence, Kansas, that dealt with the same idea. I made three large sculptures using Big Macs, frozen pizzas and Little Debbie Snack Cakes in acrylic resin. I dried them out for several days then coated them polyurethane and the resin. It took about ten years for the gases to finally break the resin. You can see all three pieces
here. You can also view a video made of the burial of the Pizza Sink, made 10 years later in 1998 in Tucson, Arizona,
here.
