This sticker lets create cutting-edge art. You can collaborate with any local banana, apply the sticker, and then give away your piece to any museum or private collector.
Self-Portrait is a recent work by Banana. It is both a response and an homage to Andy Warhol, who once transformed Banana into a reproducible cultural image on the cover of the first Velvet Underground album. Here, Banana appropriates Warhol in return, placing his face on its skin and presenting him as its own likeness. Edible, perishable, and anonymously cultivated, Banana collapses portrait, artist, signature, brand, and artwork into a single consumable object. Countering Warhol’s prompt “Peel Slowly and See,” Banana asks us to “Peel Slowly and Eat.”
Given freely and completed through consumption, Self-Portrait (also referred to as Banandy Warhol) turns a commodity into a gift and an image into nourishment. It is an important work of Rematerialism, a movement that begins where postmodernism ends. After everything has become image and commodity, Rematerialism returns art to the world as something that can be used, shared, eaten, planted, repaired, worn, or inhabited. It refuses to let irony have the final word.
