Sometimes we look at “ordinary” and see the “extraordinary “. Sometimes we need to break the divine rituals and etiquettes. Sometimes we need to revisit and redefine. This food art performance delineates how we form a bond between art and life.

The Artist’s Statement

In the context of the exhibition, the connection between the gut and the nervous system of the gut, also known as the enteric nervous system ​(ENS), has been used as a conceptual framework to create a more embodied and immersive experience in Badr El Jundi. By incorporating different stages of digestion and the digestive system as a metaphor responding directly to the space, the works in the exhibition encourage visitors to think critically about the complex processes that shape our social and political environments.
