After visiting the exhibition about food at the Mocak Museum, I feel like I still have an appetite. I shouldn’t have! Food is poisoned these days! It was Banksy who pointed this out. The Mocak curators say that food was payment for labour and that its acquisition was the driving force of progress. ilboa began to keep a diary of everything he consumed for a year. He turned this diary into a sculpture installation. And what? Nothing! Who cares about food? We are in a hurry…… We have a lot on our plates. Animals killed in road accidents or during the clearing of forests! But come on, it’s getting late. Time for dinner! Well, my husband is late too, dinner is at the dog’s once again.
What’s wrong with food these days? Well, maybe nothing. Fast food culture can be so exciting and great! Even as great as in the photos by German photographer Rebecca Rütten. She places tacos and hamburgers in the still nature of the greatest paintings from the Renaissance period. Hamburgers! They are great! Aren’t they? But what do we actually eat, apart from hamburgers and fast food? Well, what is recommended in the adverts. The sculpture of man as a sausage is so real!
