One Grain = One Person: Of All The People In All The World is a durational performance featuring 900 million grains of rice (15 tons), a grain for every person in the Americas. Over the course of time ranging from weeks to a month, the company weighs out a huge range of human statistics in rice and places them in labeled piles. The evolving sculptural landscape brings facts and figures to vibrant life, from the local to the global.

In this unique performance, Stan's Cafe blends elements of Victorian laboratory experiment, social science and rigorous factory work to humanize formerly abstract aspects of community. Visitors are encouraged to engage performers in conversation, contribute personal histories and suggest new statistics as they discover in the massive piles of rice the subtle links between individual and community, the Americas and the rest of the world.
