Last year Philly-based video and performance artist Jenny Drumgoole submitted a series of videos to a Philadelphia Cream Cheese recipe contest—in which women presented recipes, cooking show-style, using the popular spread. In the first (above) Drumgoole sculpts a stop-motion animated head of Rambo from 20 blocks of cream cheese. Later, a five-day cream cheese cleanse makes her numb to pain and gives her 3D vision.
She didn’t win the competition, but she did get a solo show of the videos at Philadelphia’s Levy Gallery. And the internet got a hilariously disgusting series of recipe videos that make Cookin’ With Coolio look like The French Chef. Don’t try these at home (or anywhere, for that matter).
