SHOW US HOW YOU EAT!
A video project by Fallen Fruit for the exhibition EATLACMA.

We want to see you eat. We want to see you masticate. Chomp, gnaw, nosh, dine, feast, nibble, consume, swallow, ingest, devour, munch, gobble up, pig out, chow down and polish off some food.

Open call for video submissions -- Right in front of everybody, in a video on YouTube. Videos uploaded to YouTube by May 31st will be considered for selection to be part of the exhibition.

Fallen Fruit Presents EATLACMA (June 27 - November 7, 2010).

Show Us How You Eat is a participatory online video project, and is seeking your own videos of eating. We're asking people to submit/ upload a short single take videoof them (or their friends or family) eating - not preparing, cutting, or cooking, but actually eating, chewing and swallowing food. We want to explore the idea that though eating is universal, and images of food appears everywhere, that there are almost no images in art or popular media of people actually eating. This opportunity gives you a chance to be part of an exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art called EATLACMA. Submitted videos will be shown on YouTube and Fallen Fruit will select a few of the videos to be included in the museum as part of a wide-ranging series of exhibitions, installations and events that examine the relationship between food, art, culture and politics.

Does everyone eat the same, or does everyone eat differently? Is eating something that connects us, or is it something that differentiates us? Show us how you eat and tell us what you think.

EATLACMA was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and made possible by a Museum and Community Connections Grant from MetLife Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Ralph M. Parsons Fund and Paramount Citrus.

Fallen Fruit is David Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young.

For a quarter century, Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has aggressively confronted multinational corporations over their destructive practices, exposing their disregard for human rights and the natural systems that sustain life. Today, RAN takes on big agribusiness corporations to address their responsibility for the vast tropical deforestation undertaken to maximize the production of palm oil, used in 50% of all consumer goods. New plantations decimate over 2.5 million acres of Indonesian rainforests every year, threatening hundreds of indigenous cultures and releasing a tremendous amount of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.
