“ALL YOU CAN EAT” is a series of pictures I stumbled upon when surfing the internet. They show amateur footage of fanatic gun owners who want to show off their weapons. To prove the authenticity of their weapons, they portray them alongside their meals – very much in the tradition of still lifes. In an attempt to reduce the social value placed on these weapons, I arrange the pictures like a menu to draw attention to the food rather than the weapons. In this way, I make a critical statement on the availability of weapons and their relationship to modern conservative concepts of masculinity.
