Candy
Candy is video documentation of a performance in which the artists repeatedly lick a giant ball of hard candy that they created, attempting to dissolve it. The viewer is made aware of the nearly-six-month duration of this process by the change of seasons, visible through the window in the background.
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.
