Are We Compiling a List of the Next Best Flavours of the Year? 2008
(Philippe Vergne in 'Ice Cream', Phaidon 2007) Are We Compiling A List Of The Next Best Flavours Of The Year?' (Philippe Vergne in Ice Cream, Phaidon 2007) 2008, is a video work that explores celebrity and consumerist culture. In this work an assortment of ice cream, lavishly decorated with cream and confectionaries stands in a glass. The ice cream is continuously rotating so that the viewer can admire it from every angle. It is paraded to be admired and salivated over. All the while it remains perfect and unattainable. Cream as a substance represents luxury and exclusivity, and reflects societies preoccupation with fashion, branding and consumerism.
