TrillHaus’ Abominable Snowman Snacks Strongman Snowman (2008)
molding snack cakes (packaged and unpackaged), polystyrene, cardboard, spray enamel, plastic bag, rope
A project by John Fanning and Glenn DiLando as TrillHaus. A large amount of obscure winter-time "snowman snack cakes" were left in a basement for over a year and then donated to TrillHaus to use however possible. The packaged cakes were merged into a pixel-style 3-D rendering of a "snowman" showing off his strength by lifting the remains of himself (opened packages that were put into a plastic bag). The full extent of the slowly-rotting snack cakes were most visible in the bag while in the package the cakes seemed to look normal since the cakes themselves are primarily artificial.
