tall order

Please check out the entire "Excess" series at the Nevica Project website and be sure to read my blog if you're interested in learning more about my thoughts behind the series, (i.e. the point i'm trying to make with it) , and seeing some behind the scenes photos of the preparation behind it.

 

As with the previous cheerios photo, this did not involve any digital processing trickery. I made three attempts at baking a large enough burger bun that actually looked like a normal burger bun, substituting sunflower seeds for sesame. About 2 pounds of ground beef went into the patty, (liberally laced with garlic, onion, sweet chili sauce and shredded cheese before cooking, to make sure it would be tasty despite the vast size). The fries were cut out of the largest sweet-potatoes I could find, and the glass contains 2 liters of pepsi, with ice-cubes frozen in yogurt containers.
