FOODSCAPES

THE PRE-CYCLE AND THE RE-CYCLE OF FOOD

The project investigates the essence of food seen in a panoramic view from the industrial production to its individual consumption. By the analysis of the pre-cycle of food, and with that the origins of the food before it comes to our tables, it is underlined how, almost in an unconscious way, our food is inducted to grow and become eatable by some industrial logistics, which are far from our natural necessities. Conceptually, our food becomes a container to be filled with the projections of our shape and taste notions: a mix of biologically modified substances, extruded against its nature and with no possibility of failure.
