-Loser, Sean O’Callaghan’s Shepherd’s Pie eating contest

What does it feel like to be hungry, physically and metaphorically? What do we hunger for? Is it possible to be sated? If so, is it helpful? 

These were some of the initial questions guiding the second Specific Feeling, a Risograph-printed and spiral-bound collage of parables, photographs, essays, and interactive elements digging into what we do with hunger and what it does to us. Following the arc of the Denver Health Medical Center’s hunger scale, this book presents the stages of hunger sequentially through humor, investigation, and experience. It offers insight into how our hunger is exploitable, how it fuels us, where it brings joy, and whether it is undefeated.

Importantly, this book is here to say no, you will never be sated.
