Specially Processed American Me is a multidisciplinary performance using SPAM, the canned meat, to connect memories of the artist's Korean-American upbringing and share her family’s accounts of the Korean War. It investigates SPAM's legacy in the military, its place in individual and collective memory, and its influence on Korean cuisine through a narrative collage of monologues, animation, soundscapes, sculpture, and cooking. Thrashing between absurd humor and sober tragedy, genuine affection and biting criticism, Specially Processed American Me is a thought-provoking exploration of one of America's most misunderstood foods.
