About the piece:
This tumblr account contains photographs from the performance piece "I am...me." In this piece, a person wears a dry erase board and asks others to write on the dry erase board. Everything written on the dry erase board must be in the form "I am (something). (Do something to) me." Every time a new phrase is written on the board, a photo is taken.
About the artist:
My name is Jacob Rath. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and am part of a family of artists. I am currently a student at Macalester College, with a Double Major in Art and Math. As an artist, I like creating interactive art, but also enjoy working in fibers, drawing and linoleum printmaking. Aside from art I like exploring urban areas, Scrabble, and cats.

This photograph marks the first time that the person writing the text also chose the pose of the model.

Rollover Text. The first text was written by a kid. In the second picture, the woman with the sunglasses drew the monster and posed as a monster for the picture.
Rollover text. Both of these things are hard to believe. Both of these also include artwork of other artists in the background. These paintings were on the perimeter of Tompkins Square Park during the Howl! Festival.
