GHOST POO (2011)

GHOST POO

The ghost, as an undecidable, does not conform to either polarity of a dichotomy. For example; present/absent, cure/poison, and inside/outside.
The figure of a ghost seems to be neither present or absent,
or, alternatively, it is both present and absent, at the same time.

It is customary during a festive parade for participants to usually provide the spectators with some kind of sugary sweet.
If, rather than a lollipop, a token of arguably desirable excrement is offered by a participant in guise and anonymity, how then does this ghostly offering trouble notions of obligation and reciprocation within a gift giving transaction?
