A (failed) project for Jamaica Flux,

Jamaica Arts Center, Jamaica Queens (2004)

promotional billboard of the project

This public art project attempted to introduce an urban myth into the social fabric of Jamaica Queens: a food product that was the mixture of a Chinese and Mexican tradition, invented by a supposed Mexican-Chinese immigrant: a tamal with a fortune inside. While the promotional campaign of the product did exist, the actual food product never materialized on the streets.
