Artifacts in my Mouth
Diane Borsato
Ste. Hyacinthe, Quebec, 2003
Description:
"I was given permission to put museum artifacts in my mouth.
I opened the vitrines with the technician, and was able to
intimately experience the objects, with my tongue, lips,
and sense of smell. Among the objects I was permitted to
put in my mouth were a peacock’s head, an Egyptian statuette,
a lasso, an unknown bone, and a model of the moon."
