Idea Post -- I don't know that I have any ideas...

I don't know how I really feel about this idea, but it came to me on a whim so I'm going to hear it out.  I'm thinking of a piece that would cause the audience to interact with it, to actually put them in my place so to speak. I would have an image similar to this one:

a certain distaste, 2009
But it would be the model with a fork and knife in his hands, fists on the table, staring straight at the camera. The food would not be visible in this image. The image would be hung at the end of a table. At the opposite end of the table, facing the image would be an empty chair for the viewer to sit in.  In the middle of the table, would be the dish with the fish, octopus, lamb leg (not pictured), and bone marrow (not pictured) with a fork and knife on either side of the plate.  I would want the table to be small so that the person was being confronted by the image, stared down almost.  I feel like in the right setting this would be very uncomfortable for the viewer, which is something I want. I don't know if I'll follow through with this, but it's something to think about.
