Spam Maps

Filipino American artist Michael Arcega has created a series of maps made of Spam luncheon meat.

Spam was used as ration by the United States Armed Forces during WWII. It ultimately spread through many Southeast Asian nations as a standard source of meat. Spam’s diasporic nature is symbolic of America’s ongoing influence on many nations. S-P-A-M is M-A-P-S in reverse.

The spread of a lunch meat composed of thousands of inedible parts into a whole of inedible mass with questionable nutritional content is indicative of the country which could conceive of such an unwholesome creation.

The best part is that it lasts forever!
