Carbon Corpus
Carbon Corpus was a project examining environmental issues and alternative economies. This project aime to not only educate others about how to make less of a carbon footprint, but also to examine and critique the difficulties of achieving this goal in modern society. I began this project by selling the animal-based carbon credits to my own body to investors. In exchange for their purchase, I ate a vegan diet for the period of time they purchased. Buyers will also receive certificates of the authenticity certifying my commitment and the amount of carbon offset.
During this project, I aimed to engage in a dialogue with those who purchase my body’s carbon credits, by asking questions as to what permissions they feel such a purchase grants them, and how they are choosing to behave.
