MEH

A Meditation. A deliberately understated work for the emotional territory between enthusiasm and objection.

What is MEH?

MEH is an informal expression of indifference, neutrality or lack of enthusiasm. It is a reaction with intentionally low emotional intensity.

The concept

MEH explores the comic possibility of treating indifference as a subject. When a reaction is neither positive nor negative, the absence of intensity becomes the material.
