Abstract
Eat Art, PANCH Symposium “Archives of the Ephemeral”, 1-3 November 2018
_bread and bones
_cooking objects
_digi-plate
_eating is also archiving
The four works are based on the preparation and presentation of food as an everyday task. Deviations in one of the two tasks give rise to new meanings and contents.
Bread is presented as the bones of a human skeleton.
Objects made of food are exhibited as artefacts in the museum for a few hours and then added to the cooking process. The transformed objects are eaten and archived in the human body.
The digi-plate reacts to the phenomenon of photographing food with a smartphone. The digi-plate brings food back into the analog world.
With the alphabet soup served at the end, all lectures and texts of the symposium could be written. By eating the soup together, the entire content of the conference is archived in the bodies of the individual participants.
