Dying for my Art

Throughout the course of an afternoon in central Manchester, Tim offered free cigarettes to anyone passing by who wanted one. An exploration of public engagement, Dying for my Art asks the public to do just that while Tim's art reaps the benefits.

With thanks to all those who partook.

"One may be tempted to subtract tobacco from economy, from the circulation of labor and production, income and surplus-value, from accumulation of capital, from money in the form of currency or non-currency.

Jacques Derrida
