If you’ve ever lived in a Big City, you have eaten in the street on the run. Dornbracht has a wonderful museum show demonstrating how food vendors across the world do their jobs from the gutter.
Seeing the vendor food stations grouped together in a white space is alarming as the intention to feed an angry stomach is provided immediate urgency and perspective.
Adding people in the street gives the final form to the staged event as fingers begin coordinating with eyes to feast on the fruits of the world.
Where is this exhibit? I’d love to see it.
I believe it started in Germany and is slowly wending its way across the world.
It is amazing how shocking an everyday object can be when it is removed from its normal context. Thank you for sharing this.
That’s a great insight, liminal. Context is everything. Many times context outstrips values and culture in immediacy and relevancy.
