Artists: Mai Yamashita and Naoto Kobayashi
From the YouTube page:
The project began on the day that Yamashita and Kobayashi created a giant candy the size of a football (18cm in diameter). From that day they kept licking the candy day after day for about six months, with the aim of creating an ordinary candy, the kind you can buy on the market. The video work, shot with the artists in profile, records this process. While they were licking, the landscape in the background changed from snowy winter to summer.
Honestly, this is pretty gross and it really creeps me out watching it. There has got to be a bacteria-fest on the surface of that candy and all the dust and dirt flying around and getting on it. Maybe they covered it after licking though. Either way – yuck.
Very Cool, but Very Gross!

RESPONSE: Yeah – I agree totally – creepy.
