Food Perceptions

The project explores what constitutes food as a construct. It questions ethics and morality in identifying what is labelled as food and helps the audience understand the human perceptions and behaviours in the modern world. The technological advancements in food blur the boundaries of what can be synthesised and to what extent it will still be acceptable to eat it.  The project questions the perception, biases, and disgust associated with food and culture provoking the audience to think critically about food. It nudges towards discussion and debates that must be taken in order to consume consciously.

​

Through this project we aim to explore and question the below mentioned themes;

  • Food ecosystem

  • Food culture

  • Food ethics

  • Food Packaging & Marketing

  • Food linguistics - metaphors of food

  • Food and spirituality

  • Food technology

  • Cannibalism

  • Genetic modification of Edibles

  • Rituals and customs

  • Abstinence

  • Consumption

  • Nutrition/ Diet

  • Responsible sourcing

  • Sustainability

  • Food production practices

The project started off with  two concepts which explore the theme of Cannibalism and Genetically modified foods.

The two concepts are named 'Brainy Burger' and 'Beyond Life'.

​

The project was selected for presentation at the Efood ‘22 Conference in Portugal.
