A grotesque plastic bag contains an asphalt-fermented cucumber parked outside of a paella restaurant in Portland, ME. The sealed bag begins to bleed out of itself onto the street. 



It makes me think: who is packing pickles in a bag for a snack? It must have been sitting out for a day or two. It’s difficult to tell because vinegar halts the rotting process, but it definitely wasn’t refrigerated cold. I bet it probably wasn’t that bad! 



What would your price tag be to eat the pickle?
