Four daily practices. One conceptual system.

A complete system of bodily hygiene reconfigured as conceptual practice.
This is the first issuance in the series and the origin of the phrase that later rooms keep repeating: daily practice as art material. Four ordinary hygienic acts are named as studio processes. They are not metaphors for art. They are the art, performed on the body every day.
Tongue-scraping is sculptural removal. Inspecting toilet paper is a pigment reading. The sponge is a brush that modulates a surface. Deodorant is spray paint applied to the whole body. Together they form a closed system — one conceptual practice with four tools.
The cream field and the four circled diagrams behave like a primer. Nothing is priced. Nothing is signed as capital yet. The work is only to name the materials and to keep using them.
