'product dissections' by erik boker

aquafresh extra fresh
regular designboom readers may remember a series of photographs by brittny badger depicting
dismantled appliances, which appeared on our blog last month. well, we have stumbled across
a similar series with a slightly more morbid feel. ‘product dissections’ is a series of photographs
by american artist erik boker. in the pieces, boker applies dissection techniques normally used
in the science lab on specimens, to a variety of different toothpastes. the results are presented
on a black background and lab tray. the dissected tubes take on the appearance of flesh,
albeit multicoloured and minty.
I am interested in the notions of art as commercial product, art as artifact, and the nature of the
museum, and I continue to explore our understanding of their roles, and the inherent beauty,
humor, and horror that lies within them.
