Circus
Food
Michael Zandl
This humorous spectacle isn’t your ordinary feast. FOOD invites you into an amusing and, attimes, bizarre world of consumption. Fueled by our very own appetite for more.
What begins as a simple act of eating gradually transforms into a maniacal, almostmechanical ritual. We watch as the boundaries between desire and necessity blur, giving rise to something grotesque, surprising, and disturbingly hypnotic. Through acrobatics and object manipulation, these witty circus performers create a vivid physical language.
One that questions not just their own, but perhaps even our collective consumption habits – habits subtly shaped by desires that may not be entirely our own.
