All Gingerbread women must die.

Various Locations, 2003

Performance with prints, video, and baking or real gingerbread cookie (2 ½ meters and taking 6 hours).

Gingerbread, heaters, bricks, metal, prints

Using a public space a 2 ½ meter tall gingerbread woman is baked (the dough is rolled out, cut and baked at the site). The "performance" is scheduled at the end of the work day of the space and the occupants of the building who have seen and smelled the baking (which takes 6 hours in total) are invited to "consume" the woman as the "performance". Performance was the actual eating of the cookie by invited guests within their own working space (the cookie was baked in the same space so it was seen and smelled all throughout the working day).
