Description: In 1996, South African artist Bridget Baker (b. 1971), completed So It Goes (Fig. 1), a work comprising four Vicks Vapour Rub containers which each feature the same photograph. A representation of the artist being taught to swim by her father, who died when she was a child, this is the only shot she possesses that shows them together. The photograph is overlaid with progressively increased amounts of the Vapour Rub until, in the last of the four tins, the image is almost entirely obliterated.
