Intentional Practices - Lunch Break
2024
Performance and Wearable Objects
Cotton, Polypill, Copper, Silk, Plastic Buckles
Collaboration with Naama Levit
This is a proposal for a speculative exploration of the mundane act of preparing a meal for oneself. The work encompasses performative actions, utensils, and wearable objects.
During the performance, the objects will be activated in the preparation of a sandwich. Each piece is designed for a specific purpose: spreading, scooping, picking, and sifting. There will be 4 spoons/tools, each tailored to its unique function.
The wearable piece serves to carry all the tools and produce needed.
The intention of the action is to emphasize a single moment, challenging the perception of time that prioritizes efficiency.
Preparing a meal for oneself is a mundane and familiar act. By focusing on this daily ritual, we aim to find appreciation for the small details and highlight the value of care for oneself.
This project was made for the show SPOONS, Brooklyn Metal Works, Brooklyn, NY.
