The Eternal Supper
2024
The Eternal Supper

The Eternal Supper is an ongoing, eternal, investigation into the concept of what it spiritually and materialistically means to be food.
The visual research was presented as soil drawings on cotton textiles. Edible elements were materialising different parts of the research, just like the flag and a looping video.

The Eternal Supper

The Eternal Supper is an ongoing, eternal, investigation into the concept of what it means to be food. It asks: what happens to me when my body is transformed and absorbed by someone else—and vice versa?
I see this as a deeply unifying process, connecting all life through a planetary metabolism that fosters both spiritual and environmental healing. Acknowledging our edibility compels a radical rethinking of dominant Western dualisms such as body/mind, inside/outside, human/nature, individual/collective, and life/death.
The work advocates for an animistic perspective where the sacred is found in ever-changing material, rather than in abstract, immaterial notions like heaven and spirits.Through this exploration I seek to accept, perhaps even romanticise, the way life hinges on the sacrificial exchange of each other's deaths.

Matter
•The visual research was presented as soil drawings on cotton textiles.
•The blending and appropriation of borders was represented by My teeth as a flag.
• Sugar replicas of my own teeth were eaten by visitors; letting the final imprint of a human identity be consumed, while simultaneously setting a slow decay in motion in the eater’s own teeth. A looping video shows me devouring my own teeth.
•Engraved plates were voicing research sentences while serving symbolic dishes: Bone-jelly shaped after the negative space of my mouth (the place identities blend). And rootvegetables cooked in the soil. (the place our ancestors turn into food)
