destruction of a meal vol.#001/002 (nedbrydelsen af måltidets struktur)

14743_205286583920_101055778920_2874193_6130648_nA few weekends ago, I hosted a performance at Brantebjerg Gallery in Northern Zealand. I was testing and showing the ruff outlines of a new idea and concept, which I have been working on lately. It was about getting rid of the basic structure of a meal and making the attendants realize that food is a lot more than just food. Initially I wanted to get the audience to feel that they were part of a normal eating session. The table was set and ready at five o’clock and the guest was invited in a group of six people at the time. The meal was designed in a circular system that contained eight courses in total, that would continue to be served until all the guests had had their experience. The dishes was served at a 2 minute rate on the same plate and were all designed to be eated after another. After the first guests had had their 8 different tastes, some would realize that they were part of a circle and some not. That would create the situation that I wanted. Suddenly the table was filed up with guests that were eating the same, but experiencing different tastes and finding themselves in different courses. If you compare this to a normal meal, some would be eating starters while some dessert and so on.

I will definitely use this method again and are super exited to learn more and go deeper in to this concept.

The above described, was all captured on camera by my good friend and cinematographer Nanna Bundesen – (the upload is done by the start of jan!!!) The pics you see above is from vol#2, that I did at a Nacl event in november. We have had some problems with the documentation of the Brantebjerg sesion, so I´ve decided to upload some alternative photos to give you an ideer. The video will be ready soon. Promis…
