Food is a social medium. Michael Rakowitz explores in this beautiful project exactly this dimension. As a medium food can carry a story and it can raise questions. Food has symbolic meaning and it creates meaning in situations. It can serve as a tool for intervention and it can have explicit political connotations. It does create new relations and it can question established ones.
My friend Alana Hunt sent me this project a while ago. The more I think of it the more powerful it seems to me. Have a look at it here:
