Geoff Bennington




In this piece, Geoff Smoked cigarettes while writing the phrase "I Love You You Fucking Junky" on a piece of canvas as a way of coping with his older brothers death from a heroin overdose. In doing so he also created a ritualistic act to connect with addiction. Geoff smoked about 30 cigarettes within two hours for this, creating an object from his own discomfort. Later, to complete the ritual, he burned the canvas.
