The inspiration for this work came from a prospectus, where the artwork is expected to arrive in a shoebox. Naturally, I thought of manufacturing and slavery. The correlation here, relates to how economically well-to-do cultures use the poor as slave labor and create factories in places like east Asia, Africa, Mexico etc., and use the citizens of places like this as laborers (think athletic footwear and child labor). There's an NFC tag in the ankle which sends the user to a URL if they have an NFC enabled smartphone. The questions being posed here, relate to the technological device being embedded into the severed foot, the biological means of travel and therefore, control by the slaveowner. Access to information is the privilege of the wealthy (limited class of people who have NFC phones).
