Not metaphor
The four practices are the work. The objects exist to meet the protocol.
03
Not incomplete
The system is only complete when the standards in Document 002 are met.
01 / The system
Hygiene reconfigured as conceptual labor.
Four ordinary acts, held as art materials and processes. Together they form a complete system of bodily hygiene — a minimum standard of thoroughness, now purchasable.
01
Tongue-scraping protocol
Sculptural removal
Stainless steel U-scraper. Clearing a clay-like film. The cut must extend past the visible surface to the back of the throat.
02
Toilet paper as daily ritual
Residual matter as pigment
Premium roll included as inspection surface. Continue until no residue remains. The surface is resolved only when matter is absent.
03
Sponge-based cleansing
Surface modulation
Dense sponge. Sustained pressure, abundant soap, extended duration. Mark-making on the body as canvas.
04
Whole-body deodorant
Aerosol as spray paint
Red can. Complete, controlled application. Wipe the edges afterward so clothing stays clean.
02 / The edition
What ships.
Three objects built for the protocol. Ritual paper included so the fourth surface stays in the system. Documents 001 and 002 travel with the edition.

Document no. 002 · Execution protocol
The required intensity of the four practices.
Each action is governed by a minimum standard of thoroughness that transforms ordinary hygiene into measurable artistic labor. The system is only complete when the standards are met.
01 · Tongue-scraping protocol
Reach the back of the throat thoroughly. Sculptural removal must extend past the visible surface.
02 · Inspecting toilet paper as daily ritual
Continue wiping until no residue remains, or nearly none. The surface is considered resolved only when residual matter is absent.
03 · Sponge-based cleansing practice
Apply sustained pressure and scrub for an extended duration. Use abundant soap. Surface modulation requires both force and time.
04 · Whole-body deodorant system
Complete, controlled spray. Wipe the edges of the body afterward so clothing stays clean. Application must be complete and controlled.
03 / Documents
Daily practice as art material.
Document 001 states the system. Document 002 states the intensity. Both travel with the edition.
