The duration of this early black-and-white performance work follows Ramos eating the entirety of a watermelon, slice by slice. The artist sits outdoors at a small dining table with a white table cloth, positioned directly in front of the camera as he makes his way through the fruit and a full bottle of wine.

By using a bodily fluid as art-making material, Acconci pushes the anti-aesthetic of body art to its radical extreme.
