Happening & Installation
together with Maya Minder >>
The
happening or participative installation was developed together with the swiss
performer and artist Maya Minder whose work often involves cooking, fermenting
and the workshop as an artistic format. Bringing our work together evoked
a discourse about the dichotomy of man-made/nature-made and post-capitalist
visions of community. The result was a holistic experience with performative
and sculptural qualities, where the visitor became a probing and part of an
experimental setup itself. Main elements of the installation have been
table-cloths made from Kombucha-leather, which we cultured in inflatable
paddling pools over the summer. The guests were invited to participate in the
distillation process of a “scent of the moment” and to join the cooking performance
and following banquet. They were offered to smell, taste or smoke different
essences, liquids or food to get into an energised mood or spin for an open
discussion and exchange of knowledge.
