"Tart Card", 2009 - 2010, is an ongoing project. It exists as a series of intervention/performance, video, posters, flyers, and museum proposals. The work emphasis upon the notion of low life, sexual exploitation and pornography using the sexually explicit pictures posted inside the telephone booths. The intention is to de-contextualize them by re-contextaulizing them with the National Portrait Gallery in London.

In contrast, a collection of postcards that contain naked images in the National Portrait Gallery are taken and re-contextualized within the telephone booths. These postcards, however are adapted in the format of "Tart Card" i.e. the information written on the cards are relevant to the general perception of these images by others and the phone number on the cards is the phone number of the national Portrait Gallery.
The collected post cards are: Marsha Hunt - by Photographer Patrick Lichfield, "The Last Thing I Said to You Is Don't Leave Me Here" - self-portrait by Artist Tracey Emin, Circe - the Photographic Portrait Prize 2009 by Nathan Small and Christine Keeler - by Lewis Marley.
