The film La Petite Eat parallels the issues of consumerism and the female form, and addresses over abundance of goods, and how our culture consumes without thought. The contrasting images of a ballet dancer and the primal qualities of meat question how we expend the female body as well as the copious amounts of goods we consume. Currently, the Kress building houses a steakhouse, and the film that is projected onto the space features cuts of meat from all parts of the cow, not wasting any part.
