FOOD PERFORMANCE
Slippery Grounds
at Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

For the book launch of Amazonies Spatiales, we created edible landscapes, connecting to the central theme of envisioning forward-looking stories around our relationship to the universe.

“Slippery Grounds”
Imaginations on how our food consumption transforms our terrestrial existence. By the act of daily eating we are sculpting our landscapes. A collective of international Eatartists propose food speculations and gestures of eating in unfamiliar terrains. Maya Minder together with Romain Descombes, Lei Saïto, and Fransisca Tan are creating a somatic food experience, combining storytelling and fiction for “Amazonies Spatiales”.
