These photographs come from Corin Hewitt’s exhibition Seed Stage (2008–9), which blended performance, photography, and installation. Inside a room he built in a gallery in the Whitney’s former uptown location, Hewitt performed three days a week, cooking, sculpting, heating, cooling, casting, canning, eating, and photographing both organic and inorganic materials. He used a desktop printer to output his photographs, composting the rejects and hanging the rest on the gallery walls for the duration of the exhibition.
