Potato Project


Potato Installation
Artist: 
Ginou Choueiri

The potato and human face have many striking parallels; not only is their skin porous like ours, but like us, they also come in different colors, shapes, and forms.

This work is ephemeral and and only lasts for around a month or so after which the potatoes decay.

I have made more than a thousand portraits so far, from everyone I know to people I met on the streets, as well as famous people and politicians.
