The starting point of Describe Something Sweet was a collection of individual testimonies, various experiences of commonplace intimacies and daily rituals. It is part of the fascination with the blurry distinction between private and public—with the notion that privacy is rapidly changing. What defines the ordinary? How can you capture the perfectly common? Tell a miniature story about something fleetingly and innocent, evanescent and simple? We asked people of varying ages, professions, and countries to “describe something sweet.” Each answer, each story, is told by a sugar cube encased by a wrapper; the handwriting belongs to respondents themselves. No single response says more than another, and taken together, the answers are revealing: there’s silliness, openness, romance and lust, hunger and loyalty—an infinite universe.
