The panel agreed that this was a satisfactory - good presentation for the postgraduate certificate stage and you concern with the politics of food production and consumption as relevant to the current experience of people in Taiwan is commendable but it sits alongside another concern with abjection and entropy and you would do well to investigate such relationships further. The installation piece was not very successful as a piece of work and could have been handled more effectively but it was a good chance to experiment with this form of practice. The large photographs on canvas are compelling but it is the smaller images you have left in your sketchbook which are by far the most interesting images e.g. the red head and the mould filled mouth. The panel agreed that these are the most significant images you have produced primarily because they sit somewhere between documentary and fashion photography. Perhaps this needs to be considered further, the point at which the decomposing and degrading mold is overly aestheticized in the photograph. This is also true of the images of the eggplant and the chips which almost begin to look painterly. There is another aspect of this work that is important which is to do with the sensory impact of rotting material on the audience although you must be aware of the health and safety issues in working in this way.
Your Critical Evaluation was not handled very well as there is no discussion of your actual presentation and no analysis of the work. This is something you need to work on as you move through the next stage. Nevertheless well done to get as far as you have.
You need to investigate the use of food in art in more depth, perhaps look at the work of groups such as Arte Povera (e.g. Giovanni Anselmo) and Ernesto Neto’s Mother Body Emotional Densities.
