Choices, Bend, Oregon, 2008k

This restaurant is tucked away in the back of a small shopping complex. It is patronized primarily by locals, who already know what they want to eat, and order accordingly. An outsider is faced with the daunting task of reading this specials menu, which is scrawled on a blackboard in six colors of chalk. (It is much easier to read the “fee for whining” sign than to read the menu.) A closer look takes us into the kitchen itself, where still more signs and labels appear. I wanted my viewers to partake of the same travel experience here that I did. And so I offer this chaotic symbolic jumble of simple choices, yet made as difficult as possible.
