Eleanor Antin

As more inspiration for your blog, consider the work of Eleanor Antin. In the 1972 piece "Carving, A Traditional Sculpture", Antin photographed herself over the course of many days during a diet, documenting her loss of weight as a kind of "carving" into her own body.

She also created a series of postcards in which she photographed hundreds of boots in different locations across the U.S.
