In From the Fat Off Our Bones artists Katrina Chamberlin and James Kubie act as intermediaries between the living and the event of death. They codify the visceral knowledge gained from their slaughterhouse labor into a performance of service for the community. Through video and live performance, the audience experiences the slaughter and transition from body to soap, culminating in an experience of foot washing.
