Another piece combining small medicinal bottles collected from hospitals in Chiang Mai, the first version of this work was presented at Chiang Mai University Faculty of Fine Arts’ Library. Five mobile hospital patient beds were used as a platform to display the bottles, while as a performance element for the first presentation of this work; the artist ate corn soup beside one of the beds before subsequently vomiting the soup back up. When exhibited as only one bed at the USIS library show, the public were afraid to approach the bed.
