Chikahiro Hanamura and Akiko Takamura
Body in Food

16.02.2018

Food will be body
Body is made of food
Food is in body
Body is in food

A performance and exhibition by landscape artist Chikahiro Hanamura and sound artist Akiko Takamura. The Japanese duo –through a 16 days experiment eating only a bowl of brown rice once a day- will reflect about the effect of food on their bodies while living in Spain. A body process and a theoretical and aesthetical research about the macrobiotics, the balance between Yin and Yang, and the relation between food and culture inform and compose the project of the two artists.
