FOODSCAPES
Solo Exhibit at Winner Winner
11/21, Los Angeles
Eating
goes beyond a cultural and political act, it is a necessity beyond
whim. However, we do little to assimilate certain ethical understandings
about our relationship with food.
Through
an edible installation, a tangible reflection is made about the respect
for natural resources and their future. Do we produce more or waste
less?
Ananas
Ananas addresses issues around the food production chain, specifically
the amount of water and soil going to waste with our residues left
unwanted. By illustrating the similarities and the ways we use and abuse
resources, we are asking ourselves if we’re taking what we want or what
we need.
FOUR OLIVES 125L
The liters of water used to produce 4 pickled olives represented by the glass vessels.
ONE APPLE 70L
ONE ORANGE 50L
FIVE BLUEBERRIES 20L
The liters of water used to produce each fruit represented by gelatin and upcycled water.
SALT
2,640
pounds of eroded soil from unsustainable farming is represented by sea
salt. This is the collective amount of infertile soil that is no longer
useful by the consumption of a single meal from each person attending
tonight.
