In one room, Chinese women dressed in viridian robes reach through portals in order to massage Mexican woman working in a lettuce field in California. Meanwhile, at a rubber plantation in India, trees are tapped for their milky latex. A woman's abundant breasts and cheeks become pink when they are squeezed by compressing walls ;. “blush,” a powdery substance that references both a physical sensation and a makeup product, falls off The blush, lettuce, and rubber latex are all mixed together to create a magical object The. entire production is managed by Bunny Glamazon and Trixxter Bombshell, a Buddha-like woman on a turntable, who gives directions via telekinesis The final art object produced by this collaboration will never be physically present ;. it will ultimately be stored in an offshore safe.
