PROJECTS Table landscape transcultural is the mutual creation
of a three-dimensional panel created by dishes. These dishes are based on 12 creative recipes from project participants from Austria and Japan. In each case a
short personal story on Vienna or Tokyo will be translated into a recipe, a story of Vienna to be converted in a recipe with Japanese ingredients, and respectively
a story of Tokyo using Austrian ingredients. There will be a trial cooking for each recipe in form of a cooking performance. In a first step the photo
documentation of all results serves as base for the composition of a virtual table landscape. A full-scale print on canvas of this virtual table landscape is
planned as an exhibit. Der Feuertisch is a changeable table that combines formal elements of Austria and Japan. The table consists of
different layers that contain food and is equipped with an accumulation of cooking devices and the capability of generating different cooking grades. As such the
dishes will be prepared on the table itself. This complex multifunctional design-table invites in an impressive way to experience the metamorphoses of food. Table fellowships consist of artistic photo serials from Vienna and Tokyo capturing the private frame of mutual meals, the family and friends
table, as well as convivial circles of dinner guests in typical pubs. |
