Eat

Overview

In *Eat* (1996), you eat breakfast with your feet propped up on the table, wearing only a bra and panties. After eating, you take out your dentures, lick them, and put them back in. As you do this, you look directly at the camera, as if asking an imaginary viewer to react. It’s a playful exploration of how you’re perceived in person, how you perceive yourself, forms of social behavior, and the roles you like to subvert. “Against conformity,” “against the rules”—two of your mottos. “Let’s misbehave,” so to speak.

Directed by Friedl vom Gröller
