When being assimilated, food is not considered as an ordinary element
anymore but becomes unfamiliar to the body. During the digestive process, it
undergoes numerous transformations and turns into something different.
However, could it not only experience changes, but transform our own body as
well? In my work, I have modified food by using different media. Food is
something mysterious, which might even have a conscience or be malicious
against human beings, like a conspirator. Although food is ordinary, in my
work it gets a distressing or controversial dimension. Could something as
familiar as food become aggressive?
In my projects, instead of confirming this vital aspect, I want to give food
a shadowy or ambiguous appearance. We have heard of genetically modified
organisms and food-related health problems, but could it make our own body
mutate as well? I envisage food as a flexible fictional material. In how
many ways can I transform it? |
