Does my bum look big in this?


This is it! Me on Jeremy Kyle show!

Fat Tim's House Party


Last friday we had our final exhibition for performance elective called Fat Tim's House Party. I wore these badges(above) so that I could be related to my video...


This is my work! Amazing display. I am totally fed up on carrying that bloody tv around Peckham...


These were the muffins that were intended to be eaten. No one wanted to touch them though. I wonder why.

Domestic Fighting


For our final exhibition I will be looking at arguing and basically just trying to show how stupid it is. When people really argue, when they get mad and angry there is often more emotions involved than rational thinking. If we would solve the problems purely rationally there will be no big conflicts, I am sure. Great place to see obviously stupid fighting are trash tv-shows such as Maury or our very own Jeremy Kyle show. I am fascinated by these shows. People go to them to solve their very personal issues right infront of tv cameras. They are encouraged to get angry. The more outrageously they behave the better the show is. Viewer is led to feel ashamed for but also superior to these people. Especially in Jeremy Kyle show the role of the host is to be the moral advisor. He really gives his 'right' opinions loudly. The common issues in these shows are about relationships and cheating. Show even provides lie detector tests to prove people guilty or innocent. On my performance or better video I will pretend to be on Jeremy Kyle show but I will be fighting over someting even more pointless. My subject is simply 'does my bum look big in this?' which is nearly an iconic cause of fights between couples.
Above are my 'promotion' pictures for my performance!
