Süßer Kannibalismus / SWEET CANNIBALISM (2007)

by AMAIA VICENTE GARCIA

This work is formed by 8 kilos of white and black chocolate. These eatable sculptures are copies of my own body and it is placed in trays of crystal and metal close to three boxes of light by three photographies in paper retropreyactable that narrate a history.

The body transformed into a consumable object that generates across the sight and the smell the desire to be eaten.

The day of the inauguration in the Gallery Lisi Hämmerle in Austria could be eaten, chewed, savoured and swallowed by all the persons who came to the exhibition. Each of these persons was photographed eating parts of the body.
