T.S.F.P.O.T.O.M.
2013
Photos by Kento Kawakami from a performance piece in which I tried to convince a number of friends that I had secretly been a millionaire since inheriting a large fortune from my father many years prior.
The participants were split into teams according to their perspective social groups. One group being coworkers of mine from the summer prior to this project and the other being members of the Sculpture class in which I was enrolled at the time and for which this piece was created.
Participants were asked to drive from Tampa to Orlando, Florida at a rendezvous point. From this point they would be driven together to my "secret mansion".
Upon arrival they would compete for monetary prizes. They were filmed competing for prizes as well as searching for items as part of a scavenger hunt between competitions. Each participant was given two hundred dollars cash near the beginning of the day's activities and would receive poker chips the rest of the day to be totaled that night and supposedly given cash for their perspective earnings.
